Leeds stun Sheff Utd with comeback to go five clear

Leeds United staged another dramatic late comeback to beat second-placed Sheffield United 3-1, extending their lead at the top of the Championship to five points.

The hosts took the lead when Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier accidentally turned the ball into his own net.

Leeds responded in the second half, with Junior Firpo heading in an equalizer before Ao Tanaka’s 89th-minute header put them ahead.

Moments later, Joel Piroe sealed the win with a stunning long-range strike. Leeds, unbeaten in 16 games, are now seven points clear of third-placed Burnley.

Manager Daniel Farke praised his team's resilience, while Sheffield United's Chris Wilder admitted disappointment at conceding late goals. Leeds next face West Brom, while Sheffield United travel to Queens Park Rangers.
