Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick was left frustrated by a 'massive' offside decision that went Leeds United's way in their 4-3 Riverside win. A madcap game saw Boro take an early lead through Isaiah Jones before Crysencio Summerville's penalty and Patrick Bamford's goal against his former side swung things towards the visitors. Carrick's men hit back through Emmanuel Latte Lath's long-distance strike, only to fall behind once more when a clearly offside Willy Gnonto smashed home to make it...
At 22 years of age Summerville is rightly considered among the Championship's brightest young talents. On Sunday he won the division's Player of the Season award but this is his first ever season as a first team regular starter. He was certainly present last season in the Premier League, but started just 12 times in his 28 top flight appearances. It was only the club's relegation, the arrival of Daniel Farke and Summerville's contentment to stay put that all lined up and presented the...
Ipswich Town missed the chance to knock Leeds United out of the Championship's top two as they drew 3-3 with Hull City on Saturday night. The Whites' disappointing loss at QPR on Friday night left the door open for Ipswich to re-enter the automatic promotion spots and push Leeds down to third, but the point they picked up at the MKM Stadium wasn't enough for the Tractor Boys to take advantage. Ipswich remain third in the Championship, behind Leeds on goal difference alone, and that means Daniel...
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick bemoaned a number of decisions by the officials after his side fell to a 4-3 home defeat against title-chasing Leeds United on Monday night. Two goals from in-form forward Emmanuel Latte Lath and an opener from Isaiah Jones were not enough for Boro as Daniel Farke’s men claimed a crucial three points thanks to a Crysencio Summerville brace and a goal apiece from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. It was the latter of those goals that proved to be a source...
Leicester City man Conor Coady will be watching the Foxes' promotion rivals through his fingers this weekend. Leicester are second in the Championship table at present, a point behind league leaders Ipswich Town and a point above Leeds United, who have won just one of their last five games. Enzo Maresca's side have a game in hand to their advantage, which will be played next week against Southampton, but the final three weekends of the Championship season promise to be tense and full of drama. ...
Ipswich Town boss Kiernan McKenna believes Ipswich Town have an advantage over Leeds United in their bid to land automatic promotion. The Tractor Boys are currently behind the Whites on goal difference but they crucially have a game in hand against Coventry City on Tuesday night. Ipswich know that four points from their last two games will guarantee their long-awaited return to the Premier League, keeping in mind that they face already relegated - for all intensive purposes - Huddersfield Town...
The promotion battle at top of the Championship looks set to go down to the wire. That's according to Opta, at least, who are predicting both Leeds United and Ipswich Town to avoid potential banana skins on the penultimate weekend. Daniel Farke takes his Leeds side to QPR this evening and the Whites know that if they are to give themselves the best chance of winning automatic promotion, nothing less than a win will do. United got over the line on Monday night by edging out Middlesbrough and...
Conor Chaplin insists Ipswich Town continue to play without fear as their promotion battle with Leeds United and Leicester City heats up. Ipswich have done a magnificent job in keeping pace with their automatic promotion rivals, given they only came up from League One last season while Leeds and Leicester dropped down from the Premier League. Kieran McKenna’s side fell out of the top-two after Leeds beat Middlesbrough 4-3 on Monday but fate remains in their hands. Pressure could soon be heaped...
Leeds United can climb into the Championship’s automatic promotion places with victory at Middlesbrough this evening. Daniel Farke’s side enjoyed a mixed bag of results over the weekend with Leicester City beating West Brom but Southampton losing 2-1 at Cardiff City. With Ipswich Town not in action until Saturday, Leeds have the chance to go second and open up a four-point gap, should they take maximum points from Boro and Queens Park Rangers. It’s set to be another huge week in the Championship...
Nigel Martyn insists Leeds United must win both of their remaining games to stand a chance of achieving automatic promotion in one of the most exciting Championship campaigns in recent memory. Leeds found their feet again in the race with a dramatic 4-3 win at Middlesbrough on Monday evening, Crysencio Summerville’s brace bookending goals from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. A late Emmanuel Latte Lath header made it nervy but Daniel Farke’s men held out to take all three points and go...
Leeds United’s quest for automatic promotion has been dealt a hammer blow, an awful 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers handing a place in the Premier League to Leicester City and a golden opportunity for Ipswich Town to join them. Daniel Farke's Whites could have moved four points clear of Ipswich in the Championship's second automatic promotion place with a victory at Friday night’s hosts yet have now given Ipswich the chance to seal promotion before Leeds even play again. Friday night's reverse...
Leeds United were thumped 4-0 away at QPR on Friday night in a big dent to their automatic promotion hopes from the Championship. The Whites’ defeat has left Ipswich Town in the driving seat and has confirmed Leicester City’s return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Daniel Farke’s side will be hoping for favours from Hull City and Coventry City against the Tractor Boys as they prepare for their final day clash against Southampton at home next weekend. In the meantime, here is a...
