Leeds had a successful Easter weekend, gathering four points out of a possible six and extending their unbeaten league streak to 15 matches. Byram returned to the starting line-up at left-back for Leeds’ 2-2 draw against Watford on Good Friday before putting on a solid defensive performance in their 3-1 victory against Hull on Easter Monday.
The team had struggled on Easter Mondays in the past but managed to break the curse with a last-minute win over Hull. Byram scored an early goal, even admitting it had gone in off his teeth. Despite this, he was able to make the most tackles on the night and create multiple chances, all while keeping Jaden Philogene, an England Under-21 international, quiet.
Byram’s performance was crucial in securing the win for Leeds, especially after witnessing other results earlier in the day. With Leicester and Ipswich both coming from behind to win their matches, Leeds needed the three points. Byram’s solid defending and contribution in attack helped Leeds to secure the victory.
Reflecting on the win, Byram mentioned the importance of late goals in boosting confidence and the competitiveness of teams in the league. Leeds currently sit second in the table behind Ipswich, with Leicester close behind. The race for promotion remains tight, with every point crucial in the final stretch of the season.
