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...
Sheffield Wednesday picked up a huge win on Sunday, defeating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers to haul themselves out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men showed real grit to twice take the lead before heading back to South Yorkshire with all three points. The win gives them hope of beating the drop, but there is still plenty of work to do, with two tricky fixtures lying in wait over the next two weekends. In the meantime, the WhoScored team of the week has been released, and there is some...
Fans have reacted angrily to the listing of tickets for the Championship season finale on May 4 on various resale websites, at prices ranging from £380 to £470. Leeds remain in the hunt for automatic promotion and though Saints suffered a damaging 5-0 defeat by leaders Leicester City on Tuesday night, the final game of the campaign could still hold huge consequences for either side's Premier League dream. Leeds supporters recently shared screengrabs on social media of their attempts to get their...
Experienced defender Luke Ayling spoke to Sky Sports before kick-off ahead
A Crysencio Summerville double and goals from Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto did the job for Leeds, but they made life incredibly difficult for themselves. Boro went ahead when Emmanuel Latte Lath went clean through and though he couldn’t finish, Isaiah Jones was on hand to find the net. Summerville’s penalty and Bamford bundling in a Junior Firpo cross swung the game Leeds’ way, before Lath equalised from outside the area. Gnonto scored from a clearly offside position to put Leeds back in...
Changes have been made to next season's FA Cup with the aim of 'protecting and enhancing the magic' of the competition. The most noteworthy change is that replays have been scrapped from the first round proper in order to try and reduce the amount of games played across the competition. At present, replays are used until the fifth round, but the decision has been made to ditch them entirely once Football League clubs have entered the competition, with all ties from the first round set to be...
Leeds United could be without Patrick Bamford for the visit to Queens Park Rangers on Friday night as the promotion race nears the finish line. Bamford is one of Daniel Farke's big doubts for the penultimate fixture of the Championship season after taking a knock on Monday at Middlesbrough. Leeds lost James to a costal cartilage injury and an oblique abdominal muscle tear in a challenge late on during the 4-3 win over Middlesbrough at the Riverside. The winger managed to finish the game but...
James sustained the injury during the second half of Leeds’ 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night and received treatment on the pitch at full-time having struggled through the final few minutes clutching his side. A scan revealed the Welsh international has suffered a costal cartilage injury and oblique abdominal muscle tear which will keep him out of contention for this weekend’s trip to QPR at the very least. Given there could be just one more Championship fixture to play this season, if...
The German, whose side returned to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday night to keep the pressure on their fellow promotion hopefuls, was expecting a busy day of preparation for Friday's visit to London. Leeds will face Queens Park Rangers in the first game of the weekend and have the opportunity to put a four-point gap between themselves and Ipswich, who play at Hull City on Saturday. Leicester, meanwhile, could stretch their own lead over Farke's men to four...
Middlesbrough come into this one on the back of a nine-match unbeaten streak and will make it ten-in-a-row should they avoid defeat against Daniel Farke's side. Leeds' own aim will be to get back to winning ways after a three-match spell without taking maximum points, as they had done in 13 of their previous 15. Leeds beat Carrick's Boro at Elland Road earlier this season by a 3-2 scoreline and the head coach at the Riverside Stadium knows no matter the two sides' places in the form table, the...
The Saints have sold out their allocation for their games at both Leicester City, on Tuesday April 23, and the May 4 visit to West Yorkshire. Fourth-placed Southampton have won their last three league outings to put pressure on the top three of Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich Town. Russell Martin’s men sit three points behind third-placed Leeds with a game in hand, but with an inferior goal difference. Leeds, though, are winless in three, just like leaders Ipswich, while the Foxes have won one of...
Drawing on wisdom and research into penalty shootouts, Leeds could certainly benefit from the EFL's scheduling of theirs and Ipswich's remaining fixtures as it looks increasingly likely to be between those two sides for who takes second place and automatic promotion to the Premier League. It follows Leicester City's eventual five-goal drubbing of fourth place Southampton on Tuesday evening, 24 hours on from Leeds' own return to winning ways with a 4-3 triumph at the Riverside Stadium. The Foxes...
