Leeds United are in the thick of a tense, nail-biting Championship promotion race. Three clubs are fighting it out finish in the top-two as we prepare to enter the final phase of the campaign.
United kept their hopes alive of sealing automatic promotion, coming-from-behind to beat Middlesbrough 4-3 at the Riverside Stadium. Victory ended their three-match winless win and helped them climb above Ipswich Town back into second spot. They trail leaders Leicester City by a solitary point, albeit with one more game played.
Reflecting on the Whites' enthralling victory at Boro, ex-Arsenal man Adrian Clarke said: “It was a wild ride of a game, really, really exciting. I think Leeds kind of forgot how to defend at times and they got lucky with the Wilfried Gnonto goal which was clearly offside, but that moment with [Crysencio] Summerville bending goal number four in for Leeds was the one.
