Leeds United closed the gap to Championship leaders Leicester City to just six points with an impressive win at Elland Road. Connor Roberts, Archie Gray, and Patrick Bamford all found the back of the net in the 3-1 victory, with Wout Faes scoring for the visitors.
The home side’s stunning comeback saw all three goals come in the final 10 minutes of the match, dealing a blow to Leicester’s title hopes. The Foxes have now suffered back-to-back defeats after losing to Middlesbrough, and are at risk of missing out on matching Reading’s Championship points record of 106.
Leicester’s current average of 2.29 points per game has them on track to fall just one point short of the historic record, a fact that will surely anger their fans. Despite this, Leeds United’s six-point lead at the top of the table puts them in the driver’s seat for promotion to the Premier League.
To regain their momentum, Leicester must now focus on their upcoming match against QPR and try to halt their recent blip.
