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...
Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has been praised by one of his former teammates as the Whites challenge for Premier League promotion.
Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say on tonight’s clash at the Riverside including agreement on a key selection issue in the front line, a trio call, legend’s advice and a Whites must. NEIL GREWER If Leeds are to have any hope of automatic promotion then a win in this game will be vital. Middlesbrough are in good form and are seeking to finish the season strongly – and will be going for the win. This could be to our advantage as Boro will certainly not be employing the...
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...
Russell Martin suggested his Southampton side went into ‘self-preservation mode’ during their dismal 5-0 thrashing at Leicester City. Southampton endured a torrid night at the King Power Stadium with defeat leaving them six points adrift of Leeds United with just two games remaining. Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu was the hat-trick hero on the night, with Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy also netting on a brilliant evening for the hosts. All of Leicester’s goals were avoidable from Southampton’s...
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...
The Championship season is coming to an end and with just two games remaining, Sunderland have very little to play for at this point. The Black Cats missed the chance to move into the top half on Saturday as they lost 1-0 at home to Millwall and as a result they currently sit 13th in the table. Mike Dodds’ side will still be well supported this weekend, though, when they travel to Watford for their final away game of the season. Sunderland have travelled well throughout the campaign and they’ll...
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...
It was a must-win game and they did indeed win it, but not before putting their long-suffering fans through the ringer once more. Both teams deserved credit for going after the win and producing some lovely attacking football and good goals and though the officials had a hand in Willy Gnonto's strike, Leeds were worth at least four goals on the night. The three points were all that mattered at full-time, though, and the automatic promotion race is still on. Here's the YEP take on a mad night at...
