Leeds United finished the pre-international break period with a comfortable home win against Queens Park Rangers, marking their fourth victory in the last six games. Despite this, Sheffield United overtook them in the promotion race by securing a win over Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City derby.
The gap between Leeds and Sunderland, the current leaders, decreased to two points as Sunderland gave up a two-goal lead to Coventry City. The Championship is proving to be tightly contested, with only eight points separating the top eight teams.
Former player Darren Bent highlighted the competitive nature of the league, pointing out the surprising position of Norwich City in fourteenth. With the season a third of the way through, the promotion race looks to be unpredictable.
Now, United look ahead to their next match against Swansea City on November 24. Swansea, who have struggled to score goals, are positioned 11th in the table. Despite a disappointing loss to Burnley, manager Luke Williams praised his team’s performance and expressed disappointment at the late defeat.
