At the start of the season the three sides that came up from The Championship were favourites to go down but against all odds Sunderland finished 7th, qualifying for Europe and Leeds finished a very creditable 14th. Unfortunately The Clarets (Burnley) finished 19th and drop back down to The Championship. All Leeds fans would have settled for 17th place, stay in The Premiership but a fantastic second half to the season saw us finishing with a superb 47 points which meant Leeds earned £144.5m from their first season back in the top flight. At Christmas some fans were calling for Farke to be sacked but his change in tactics after losing unluckily to Man City saw a huger change in fortune for the club.

Our signing at the start of the season particularly Dominic Calvert-Lewin who we got on a free, James Justin, Anton Stach, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijo, Lukas… Read more

West Ham United 3 Leeds United 0

With Leeds safe this game was a must win one for The Hammers and hope Everton did them a favour and beat Spurs to keep them in The Premiership. Unfortunately West Ham did their bit against a Leeds side that were already looking to their summer break while Spurs beat The Toffees and thus ended The Hammers 14 years stay in The Premiership. West Ham were always up against it going into this match as they sat two points behind Spurs who also had a vastly inferior goal difference. This is hard to credit as just three years ago West Ham won their first major silverware in 43 years as David Moyes led them to the Europa Conference League title. To their credit it looked like Leeds were odds on to go down at Christmas given their poor form but since the New… Read more

Leeds United 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 0

This was a case where it was a smash and grab win for Leeds. The Seagulls had dominated the game with 19 efforts on goal but apart from an outstanding save from Darlow he was rarely troubled. All the action in the first half came with two minutes to the half time whistle. Pascal Gross forced Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow into a full-stretch save before Van Hecke failed to get his header on target from six yards in the follow-up.

Brighton started the second half brightly and Danny Welbeck had an effort headed off the line by Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu while Diego Gomez also went close in the 67th minute.Leeds substitute Joel Piroe then had a shot from the edge of the box go inches wide of the top corner as the home side pressed for a winner. It did come in… Read more

Tottenham Hotspur 1 Leeds United 1

This was a massive game for Spurs in their fight to stay in The Premiership and for Leeds it was an opportunity to keep their excellent run going. With West Hams controversial loss at home to Arsenal on Sunday this was a huge game for Spurs. It was a very cagey first half with neither side troubling the opposing goalkeepers. However five minutes into the second half Spurs got the goal the craved. Mathys Tel put the hosts ahead with a spectacular finish and Spurs looked on course to open up a four-point gap over The Hammers who are in the relegation places. Richarlison then blazed a glorious chance over the top moments before Leeds were awarded a penalty.

On 74 minutes Tel's reckless attempt at an overhead kick in his own penalty area gave away a needless penalty and up stepped Dominic Calvert-Lewin who… Read more

Leeds United 3 Burnley 1

Last May Leeds pipped Burnley to the Championship title on goal difference after both sides amassed 100 points and on this occasion The Clarets came to Elland Road eight days after their relegation to the Championship was confirmed while the club announced head coach Scott Parker had left his position by mutual consent. This was a game Leeds targeted for three points to all but guarantee Premiership safety and from the off the pedal was to the metal as they completely dominated the first half. Leeds shook off their FA Cup blues and took the lead on eight minutes much to the relief of the Elland Road faithful. Anton Stach received the ball from Jaka Bijol twenty five yards out and drilled a left footed effort into the bottom corner for a spectacular goal. It was the German midfielder's fourth goal of the season from… Read more
