Leeds United suffered a devastating 4-0 defeat at the hands of QPR on Friday night, dealing a significant blow to their hopes of promotion and sealing Leicester City’s return to the Premier League.
With only three games left in the season, the pressure was on Daniel Farke and his Leeds side to stay ahead of Ipswich in the standings. However, their second-place position was in jeopardy as they were only one point ahead of Ipswich, who had two games in hand.
The loss to QPR not only hurt Leeds in terms of points but also in the way they were beaten by a team in the lower half of the table. The result left them four points behind Leicester, who secured their promotion to the top flight.
As expected, Leeds faced criticism from rival fans on social media following such a significant defeat. The opposition fans took the opportunity to mock Leeds with chants of “Leeds are falling apart again,” a trend that has become common whenever Leeds stumble.
QPR even took to TikTok to share a video of all four goals scored against Leeds, further rubbing salt in the wound. The humiliating loss sparked a strong reaction from fans and pundits alike, highlighting the intense scrutiny that comes with being one of the most watched teams in the league.
