Leeds United sealed the Championship title with a 2-1 win over Plymouth, despite a nervous afternoon. Plymouth took the lead with a Sam Byram own-goal, but Willy Gnonto equalized early in the second half, and Manor Solomon scored the winner in the dying minutes.
The victory sparked jubilant celebrations, with substitutes rushing onto the pitch and police maintaining a heavy presence. Former FIFA official Keith Hackett believes the authorities will not be happy with the celebrations and expects a fine to follow.
However, Leeds’ ownership group, 49ers Enterprises, led by Paraag Marathe, is unlikely to be concerned about the potential fine. Marathe was in attendance, celebrating with the fans and even kissing the trophy.
Manager Daniel Farke remained calm, but his actions suggested it could have been his final game in charge. Fortunately, it ended on a high note, and the club can now focus on the Premier League, with transfer plans already underway. The memories of this Championship win will stay with the squad forever, regardless of any departures in the summer.
