Leeds United 3 Nottingham Forest 1

With both sides level on points going into this game it was a must win game for Farke's boys and in truth they delivered when it mattered with a dominant display at a rocking Elland Road. This was only the 4th victory for Leeds in 16 Premiership games but how important could this victory be at seasons end one wonders. Leeds started brightly with Dominic Calvert Lewin heading against the crossbar before Bogle's scored on 26 minutes following Ilia Gruev assist. Then four minutes later Noah Okafor scored a second with an assist from James Justin for the hosts and Leeds were flying high. Sean Dyche's men were rocking at this stage and one expected a big back lash after half time from Forest.

However the opposite happened and Leeds hit a third four minutes after the interval. And it was that man Dominic… Read more

Leeds United 0 Arsenal 4

This was clearly a game where the gulf in class was startlingly apparent as The Gunners steam rolled Leeds into submission and certainly on this showing will take some stopping in their quest to win The Premiership. When Arsenal's England International Bukayo Saka got injured in the warm up with a hip injury one thought it was a positive for Leeds but his replacement Noni Madueke tormented the home side such is the quality of their squad. Leeds started the game well but on twenty seven minutes the flood gates creaked open. Madueke curled in an excellent cross for Martin Zubimendi to head Arsenal in front and one feared for the home side with over an hour to play. Seven minutes before the half time whistle Arsenal doubled their lead and this was a shocking error from goalkeeper Karl Darlow who recently took over in… Read more

Everton 1 Leeds United 1

This was a game of two halves where Leeds dominated the first and should have gone in more than one up. The Toffees came roaring back in the second half and in the end a draw was a fair outcome for both sides. Leeds were in complete control in the first half taking a deserved lead on 28 minutes with Justin scoring after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had failed to get a touch on Anton Stach's excellent cross. Five minutes later Calvert-Lewin should have marked the return to his former club by doubling Leeds advantage only to strike the near post from six yards when he got on the end of Jayden Bogle's cross. Had this gone it was hard to see Everton coming back given their first half performance and at half time David Moyes rang the changes which changed the game.

He brought on Jarrad… Read more

Leeds United 1 Fulham 0

Lukas Nmecha came off the bench to score a 91st-minute winner as a dominant Leeds ended The Cottagers six-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. It was no more than Leeds deserved as they took the game to Fulham from the off. This was a wonderful three points for Farke's boys after the injury time winner they conceded against Newcastle United this was a sweet win. Leeds remain eight points clear of the relegation zone with 18th-placed West Ham earning a shock win at Spurs.

Leeds dropped goalkeeper Perri in favour of Darlow and this was a decision that had been long on the cards. After an unexciting first half Leeds were on top of Fulham after the break restricting the visitors to only three shots while attempting nine. The all important goal came in the first minute of injury time when Nmecha turned home… Read more

Newcastle United 4 Leeds United 3

What can only be classed as the match of the season to date ended in agony for Leeds as Newcastle United forward Harvey Barnes scored an incredible 102nd-minute winner. This was harsh on Leeds who had performed brilliantly all through and also conceded a 91st minute penalty to The Magpies. Leeds went ahead on 32 minutes as Dominic Calvert-Lewin threaded the ball through to Brenden Aaronson who finished superbly into the bottom corner of Pope's net. However four minutes later Newcastle were back on level thanks to a sidefooted finish from Barnes after Nick Woltemade laid the ball off to his team-mate inside the box.
Leeds were then awarded a penalty in first half injury time following a hand ball by Thiaw. Up stepped Calvert-Lewin to coolly sent goalkeeper Nick Pope the wrong way and end a superb first half for the visitors.

Newcastle came… Read more

Leeds United 1 Manchester United 1

Another titanic game for Leeds within four days saw then deservedly gain a point and with another storming performance. The end result saw United's manager Ruben Amorim get the sack after a run of poor results and his comments after the game in a TV interview certainly didn't help his cause. Injuries to United's skipper Bruno Fernandes and England international Mason Mount along with Bryan Mbuemo and Amad Diallo involved in the African Nations Cup certainly didn't help Amorim's team selection either.

Late in the first half Calvert-Lewin header clipped off the post following Anton Stach's excellent cross. On 62 minutes Elland Road lit up when Brendan Aaronson finished brilliantly after a superb through ball from Leeds captain Struijk. Unfortunately the delirium didn't last long for Leeds fans as three minutes later United were back on level terms. Dutch International substitute Joshua Zirkzee played… Read more

Leeds United 4 Crystal Palace 1

What an evening at Elland Road for the capacity attendance as one and all saw a superb performance for the home side. Our summer signing from Everton Dominic Calvert-Lewin extended his scoring streak to five Premier League games with a superb double and put his name in the frame for an England call up. Leeds dominated the game from the start but had to wait until the 38th minute to hit the front. Ampadu's long throw-in was flicked on by Palace defender Chris Richards towards the back post and although England striker Calvert-Lewin's first shot was saved by Dean Henderson he was on hand to tap home the rebound.

Four minutes into first half injury time an Ampadu throw in lead to Leeds second goal. His long throw from the right wing was headed on by Jaka Bijol for Calvert-Lewin to finish with aplomb. What… Read more

Sunderland 1 Leeds United 1

Despite a lively start where Daniel Farke's men enjoyed plenty of possession at The Stadium of Light it was the hosts who struck first on 28 minutes. Leeds could only clear a long throw-in from Nordi Mukiele as far as Swiss International Granit Xhaka who played a brilliant pass from the edge of the box for Adingra to curl past goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was against the run of play but it was Sunderland's player of the season's pass which made the goal. On 39 minutes Leeds nearly equalised when Brenden Aaronson beat Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs with a low shot only for Trai Hume to clear off the line.

Centre Back Joe Rodon had gone off with an ankle injury and was replaced by Tanaka which necessitated a reshuffle at the back. Two minutes after the restart Leeds were back level and what a… Read more

Liverpool 0 Leeds United 0

This was a game that many Leeds supporters were dreading meeting the Premier League Champions on their home patch and even the bookies odds of 7/2 for a win at Anfield didn't breath confidence. However on the first day of the New Year Leeds put in a brilliant 90+ minutes of defending and even had a goal ruled marginally offside on 81 minutes.
Liverpool dominated possession but hardly tested Lucas Perri in the Leeds goal. This indeed was the first time in 84 games since Arne Slot took over The Reds that they failed to score in a game which is a huge tribute to Farke's tactics.

Jeremie Frimpong's left-footed strike in the first half was met by Ekitike but unbelievably ended up heading the ball in the opposite direction when all he had to do was guide it into an open goal. This was… Read more

Brentford 1 Leeds United 1

Leeds record in London has been atrocious , losing their last nine games in the city but thankfully that changed at The Getch Community Stadium home of The Bees. In a very poor first half the only thing of note was Brentford were awarded a penalty when Dango Ouattara felt contact from Gabriel Gudmundsson. It looked a dubious penalty at best but the decision was thankfully overturned for offside after a lengthy check by the video assistant referee.

The second half was uneventful until the 70th minute when ex Liverpool star Jordan Henderson scored his first Brentford goal with a deflected effort. It was somewhat harsh on Leeds but it seemed to sting them into action. On 82 minutes Leeds were back level when Calvert-Lewin rose to head in a superb cross from Wilfried Gnonto. The striker netted for the fourth straight game and if Leeds… Read more

Leeds United 3 Liverpool 3

The first 45 minutes of the game was forgetful but the second will go down as a thrill a minute game.
Liverpool had the best chances of the first half with Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Ekitike having efforts that didn't trouble Perri though Curtis Jones did strike the woodwork with a curling effort from outside the box. It was a poor half from Leeds who looked very tentative and somewhat in awe of the opposition.

The game burst into life in the first five minutes of the second half when Hugo Ekitike scored two goals in three minutes to put Liverpool in control. Liverpool looked in total control but the home side got a life line on 73 minutes when Ibrahima Konate fouled Wilfried Gnonto in the box.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck from the penalty spot for Daniel Farke's side and the Leeds fans were in… Read more

Leeds United 3 Chelsea 1

This was just the way to end a four game losing run for Daniel Farke's men at a packed Elland Road. Leeds dominated the first half and took the lead on six minutes with a stunning header from Slovenian centre-back Bijol following a corner from Anton Stach. The home side doubled their lead on 43 minutes and what a goal it was. Enzo Fernandez was dispossessed near his own box and Jayden Bogle found Tanaka to fire home from 22 yards into the top corner. Chelseas's only effort of the first half was a weak effort from Liam Delap.

At half time Maresca sent on Neto and Malo Gusto for Benoit Badiashile and Estevao Willian who was fortunate to only get a yellow card not red for kicking out at Gabriel Gudmundsson. Leeds started the second half well and had chances from Lukas Nmecha and… Read more

Manchester City 3 Leeds United 2

It's hard enough going to The Etihad Stadium against one of the top team in Europe not to mind The Premiership but to conceded after 59 seconds one expects a drubbing but thankfully that didn't happen to Leeds. England International Phil Foden scored the goal and while it was a wonderful the defending was once again shocking. Things got worse for Leeds on 25 minutes when Perri came to punch a corner and got no where near the ball which dropped to Josko Gvardiol to tap home. It was all City now to the half time whistle which was a relief to all Leeds supporters.

One was asking what Daniel Farke would do and he make two quick changes a minute into the second half bring on Calvert-Lewin and Bijol for Dan James and Gnonto. There was a buzz about Leeds who now went… Read more

Leeds United 1 Aston Villa 2

Leeds were looking to bounce back after two successive defeats and got off to the perfect start after just eight minutes. Sean Longstaff free-kick was played back across goal by Gabriel Gudmundsson and Villa keeper Emi Martinez was outjumped by Anton Stach. His header was cleared off the line but deflected in off Leeds striker Lukas Nmecha. Villa protested that the keeper was impeded but after a long check by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) the goal was given. Leeds held their own until half time and must have gone in with great confidence.

However three minutes into the second half Villa were level. Ex Dortmund player Donyell Malen a half time substitution by manager Unai Emery provided a superb low cross which Morgan Rogers flicked home. Villa were now buoyed up and looking for their sixth league victory out of the last seven… Read more

Nottingham Forest 3 Leeds United 1

This was a game that Leeds had targeted as a win given Forest's poor run of late and the sacking of
manager Ange Postecoglou. Ex Everton boss Sean Dyche was brought in as a replacement and unfortunately for Leeds he got the required result to kick start their season. Leeds got off to a tremendous start when after 13 minutes they hit the front. USA International Brenden Aaronson picked out Lukas Nmeche and he calmly shot into the bottom corner. This sent the travelling Leeds fans into a frenzy but two minutes later Forest equalised to dampen the spirits.

It was a shock mistake by Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri who parried Dan Ndoye's shot into the path of Ibrahim Sangare to slot home. Why not catch it was the cry from Leeds fans around the world no doubt ! In what was a poor game… Read more

Brighton & Hove Albion 3 Leeds United 0

What can only be described as a shocking performance saw Leeds fall down the table after a commanding win for The Seagulls. Danny Welbeck opened the scoring on 11 minutes when volleying home from ten yards. The ex Man United star has been on fire for Brighton and caused the Leeds back four all sorts of trouble. Leeds were restricted to few opportunities in the first half although Sean Longstaff had an effort blocked inside the box by Jan Paul van Hecke.

The second half started like the first with Brighton attacking at will and on 64 minutes doubled their lead through Paraguay midfielde Diego Gomez. He tapped in after superb work from Minteh on the right wing and six minutes later grabbed a second goal. Unfortunately for the travelling Leeds fans it was ex Leeds United star Georginio Rutter whose brilliant cut… Read more

Leeds United 2 West Ham United 1

Leeds claimed their second home win of the season with two goals in the first fifteen minutes to pile the pressure on The Hammers. This was a win that was badly needed by Farke's men and moves them up the table to 13th. While a lack of goals had been a major concern for Leeds in their opening eight league games that issue was helped by the visit of the top-flight's worst defence. Leeds got off to a wonder start after just three minutes. Brendan Aaronson scored his first Premier League goal since August 2022 when hitting the net after Noah Okafor's header had been saved.

The home crowd couldn't have asked for a better start and on fifteen minutes Leeds doubled their lead. Joe Rodon was given a free run to attack a corner from Sean Longstaff and he made no mistake.
For… Read more

Burnley 2 Leeds United 0

Leeds had targeted this game as one to gain three points but despite 69 per cent possession we came away pointless. The Clarets took the lead on eighteen minutes when Lesley Ugochukwun nodded home Kyle Walker's brilliant cross into the corner . This came against the run of play and just before half time Leeds had a glorious chance to equalise. Brenden Aaronson's shot was deflected on to a post by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka when in truth it was easier to score.

The second half was all Leeds with Jack Harrison twice firing well wide from outside the area. On 68 minutes Burnley sealed the points with a wonder goal. France Under-21 winger Tchaouna rifled a venomous shot into the top corner from 30 yards out giving Darlow no chance. The home side failed to register an attempt between Ugochukwu's opener and Tchaouna's screamer… Read more

Leeds United 1 Tottenham Hotspur 2

Daniel Farke's side had not tasted home defeat since early September 2024 against Burnley in the Championship and once again unfortunately it was our inability to score despite numerous chances that led to this defeat. Spurs took the lead on 23 minutes when Mathys Tel running on to Kudus through ball hit a superb strike from 20 yards into the back of the net. Once again Leeds suffered a bit of bad luck as a deflection off Pascal Struijk caught goalkeeper Karl Darlow out.

Eleven minutes later Leeds were back on parity when Dominic Calvert-Lewin held off two defenders to touch the ball down for Brenden Aaronson. His shot parried away by Guglielmo Vicario but went straight into the path of Noah Okafor who gratefully slotted in the rebound. Spurs regained the lead on 57 minutes as the rain lashed down on Elland Road. It… Read more

Leeds United 2 Bournemouth 2

New signing and ex Newcastle United star Sean Longstaff gave an inspirational performance for Leeds who unfortunately were denied a victory with a 93rd minute equaliser for The Terriers. The visitors took the lead on 26 minutes when Antoine Semenyo free-kick from the edge of the box went under the wall which jumped and beyond Karl Darlow. On 37 minutes Leeds roared back when Joe Rodon rose highest to head home Sean Longstaff's corner.

Leeds started the second half in determined fashion and deservedly scored on 54 minutes. Longstaff struck home brilliantly from the edge of the box after the ball was headed clear. Leeds defended valiantly after taking the lead and looked on to take all three points until that dramatic finish. They conceded a needless free in stoppage time and after the ball was headed on Kroupi volleyed home from eight yards.

It… Read more
