Leeds United 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1

Leeds United dropped out of the Championship play-off places as Wolves clinched a unexpected win at Elland Road. Gary Monk said it was the first 45 minutes were the worst of the season for his team and they paid the price for a lethargic performance on 38 minutes.

Nouha Dicko ran onto Ben Marshall's through-ball and beat Rob Green from 12 yards to give The Wanderers a deserved lead. Leeds did have a chance in the second half but Pontus Jansson could not hit the target with a free header. Lonergan then saved from Souleymane Doukara and Kortney Hause cleared off the line. With Fulham winning away to Villa it means Leeds have dropped out of the top six with three games remaining.

Newcastle United 1 Leeds United 1

Chris Wood scored a 95th minute equaliser to earn a valuable point for Leeds in their quest for a play off place. Leeds were completely outplayed by the The Magpies at a sold-out St James's Park where the stats said Newcastle had 19 corners to none for Leeds tells it's own story.However but for the magnificence of Rob Green Newcastle would have been out of sight and it says a lot about this Leeds side that they hung in there right to the end

Jamaal Lascelles put Newcastle ahead on 67 minutes as his header crept over the line despite a valiant effort from Rob Green who clawed it back but it was over the line. However despite living on scraps it was Chris Woods with his 25th Championship goal of the season that saved the day for Leeds.

Leeds United 3 Preston North End 0

Leeds finally ended their poor run of form with an excellent win over The Lilywhites and in the process thanks to other results are still favourites to make the play offs. Winger Kemar Roofe gave Leeds the tonic start on 18 minutes to chip Preston keeper Chris Maxwell. Top scorer Chris Woods had a goal rightly chalked off for an offside infringement before Pablo Hernandez made it 2-0 on the stroke of half time.

Midway through the second half Preston hit the woodwork before Alex Baptiste saw red on 86 minutes for a kick on Hernandez off the ball.
Leeds substitute Souleymane Doukara completed the scoring on 93 minutes to give Leeds a moral boasting win with Newcastle United to come on Good Friday.

Brentford 2 Leeds United

Only for the heroics of Rob Green the game would have been all over at half time in what was surely the worst display from Leeds all season. It did not make good viewing on live TV as United were never at the races.Romaine Sawyers fired the Bees ahead on 18 minutes tapping in after Robert Green had parried a Sergi Canos effort.

Things got worse for Leeds on 34 minutes as Canos shot was saved and fell kindly for Lasse Vibe to slot home. Pontus Jansson had a header cleared off the line while Modou Barrow and Kemar Roofe forced near post saves from Daniel Bentley. This was Leeds second away defeat in four days and most worrying is the level of these performances.

Leeds United 0 Queens Park Rangers 0

A below par performance from Leeds earned them a point while Reading and Sheffield Wednesday dropped points but Gary Monk will take it along with a clean sheet. With 11 games remaining and Fulham gaining momentum there will be a few more twists and turns before the play off places are decided. Despite dominating possession it was QPR who had the better chances and ex Leeds striker Matt Smith who received a great reception from the home crowd caused endless problems for the Leeds back four.

Home keeper Rob Green who was making his 600th league appearance against his former cub had an excellent game and made a fine first-half save
to denied Conor Washington when he was one on one with him. Alfonso Pedraza then tested Alex Smithien's in the QPR goal but that was the sum total of Leeds efforts on… Read more

Ex Leeds United youth player (1998-2007) Tom Cairney came back to haunt his is old club scoring in the fifth minute of injury time to gain a point for The Cottagers It was heart break for Leeds and their massive travelling supporters. Leeds took the lead in bizarre fashion on five minutes as Tim Ream sliced an attempted clearance under pressure from Doukara past goalkeeper David Button.

Then there was a controversial moment mid way through the first half when Neeskens Kebano seemed to have made it 1-1 with a shot that bounced down off the crossbar but a goal was not given as the ball was not deemed to have crossed the line. Alfonso Pedraza had two chances to double Leeds advantage seeing one saved by Button and one come back off a post.
Then on 89 minutes disaster struck as Kalvin Phillips received a second yellow… Read more

Leeds United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 0

Ennislusc stalwart Marty Brennan and his lovely wife Melissa were at Elland Road to see this enthralling Yorkshire Derby and they certainly weren't disappointed with the high octane game they witnessed. It had a 35,000 plus crowd, a missed penalty for The Owels and most importantly a superb three points for Garry Monk's team courtesy of Chris Wood's 23rd goal of the season.

The all important goal came on 24 minutes when
Wood poked in from inside the six yard area following a left wing cross from Berardi. Wednesday appealed for offisde but TV replayed showed that their right back Hunt had played him onside. Owls striker Jordan Rhodes had a chance to equalise on 51 minutes after Souleymane Doukara fouled Sam Hutchinson but Robert Green dived brilliantly to his left and pushed his spot-kick onto the post. He may have come in for… Read more

Ipswich Town 1 Leeds United 1

On one of the poorest surfaces in the Championship a sluggish Leeds dug out a hard earned point against a very determined Ipswich side at Portman Road. Mick McCarthy's boys took the lead as early as the 9th minute when Freddie Sears volleyed in Grant Ward's right-sided cross. Ipswich were the better side in the opening half but on 42 minutes Stuart Dallas poked home an equaliser. It was harsh on The Tractor Boys but perfectly timed to give Gary Monk's men a lift going in at half time.

Mid way through the second half Ipswiches's David McGoldrick hit the bar and was also denied by Rob Green as Leeds held on for a hard-fought point. It's getting tight in the top six now with the chasing pack closing fast in particular Norwich and Fulham. Leeds have now 13 league games to play and each must… Read more

Leeds United 2 Bristol City 1

Chris Wood scored his 22nd goal of the season to help ease Leeds worries of a top six finish after two successive league defeats. Despite it being Valentine's Day a fine crowd turned up at Elland Road and Leeds went ahead on 27 minutes when Wood turned in Pablo Hernandez's quick free-kick. The visiting Bristol City manager Lee Johnson was fuming as he felt defender Bailey Wright had been fouled in the build-up. TV replays seem to bear this out but happily for Leeds fans the goal stood.

Two minutes after half time Hernandez doubled Leeds advantage when his deflected shot beat Robin's keeper Fabian Giefer. In the sixth minute of injury time Bristol pulled a goal back through Milan Djuric but it was a well earned three points for the home side. Leeds margin of victory may have been even greater if Chris Wood… Read more

Leeds United 0 Cardiff City 2

Despite dominating the possession stats and having more shots on goal Leeds succumbed to a disappointing home defeat to a Cardiff side managed by ex Leeds manager Neil Warnock. Sean Morrison headed home from a Kenneth Noone cross on 53 minutes after the Leeds defence were caught napping with a quick free. Things got worse on 71 minutes when Zohore fired in a second following Aron Gunnarsson's break.

Despite having 17 shots on goal Leeds had only 3 on target which speaks for itself. Leeds failed to trouble Scottish keeper Allan McGregor and had Liam Bridcutt sent off for two bookings. It was a wake up call and with other teams in the top six winning Leeds can't afford too many slip ups..

Huddersfield Town 2 Leeds United 1

In a high intensity match which boiled over at the end it was The Terriers who came away with the bragging rights and leap frogged Leeds up to 4th in the Championship table. Centre half Michael Hefele scored a dramatic 89 minute winner as he prodded home after Aaron Mooy's shot deflected into his path off a Leeds defender. Following the goal Huddersfield manager David Wagner sprinted down the pitch to join his team's celebrations and on his way back to the technical area he bumped into Gary Monk. Both teams were then involved in a confrontation that culminated in both managers being sent off and three players being booked.
In fairness Gary Monk was the totally innocent party and held his council despite this totally unprofessional conduct of Wagner.

Sub Izzy Brown had put the Terriers in front on 27 minutes following a Tommy Smith cross… Read more

Blackburn Rovers 1 Leeds United 2

After the shock exit to non league Sutton United at the weekend Leeds got back on track moved to within a point of third-placed Reading after a hard fought win at Ewood Park. Chris Wood had the best chance of the first half but shot wide while Kemar Roofe headed over from a good position.

With seventeen minutes remaining Stuart Dallas broke the deadlock with a cool strike following a superb pass from Liam Bridcutt. This seemed to spur on United but they were caught out on 83 minutes when Elliott Bennett's shot from 20 yards bobbled over the out stretched arms of Rob Green in the Leeds goal. It looked to have stolen a point for Rovers but on loan Pontus Jansson won it when he headed in Pablo Hernandez's corner on 89 minutes. As Gary Monk said it wasn't a game fr the purist… Read more

Barnsley 3 Leeds United 2

Barnsley scored three goals in nine minutes to come from behind and beat Leeds United at Oakwell in a game that Gary Monk will want to forget. They never reached the standards of the Derby game and despite taking the lead the fell asleep on the stroke of half time when Tom Bradshaw headed home. With the defence expecting a cross from the free kick, Barnsley played it down into the corner and then crossed in with the Leeds back four at sixes and sevens.

Chris Wood tapped in his 18th goal of the season on 18 minutes and since his arrival at Elland Road Leeds have never lost when he scores first but that bubble was burst this evening.

On 48 minutes winger Ryan Kent turned Coyle and hit a cracking left foot effort into the bottom right hand corner of a diving Rob Green.… Read more

Leeds United 1 Derby County 0

Chris Wood's brilliant header on the stroke of half time was enough to send Leeds United third in the Championship with an impressive victory over fellow promotion hopefuls Derby County. The margin of victory should well have been even greater but for their inability to turn some gilt edge chances into goals. Liam Bridcutt, Souleymane Doukara and Bartley all missing decent opportunities in the opening half but on the plus side it was the quality of the football Leeds played that was most pleasing to all the supporters at Elland Road on the night and those watching around the world on Sky Sports live. This was as good a performance as we've seen from any Leeds team since we were relegated in 2002 and it has all us supporters on a high.

Leeds United 3 Rotherham United 0

Leeds United made it six wins from eight games by beating The Millers in the Yorkshire derby at Elland Road. Chris Wood was recalled to the starting line-up by boss Garry Monk following the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa and Kyle Bartley returned after a knee injury to replace Liam Cooper. It was a dire first half for Leeds as they failed to muster a shot on target in a first half while Tom Adeyemi hit a post for the visitors.

However on 47 minutes things changed drastically for Leeds when Kyle Bartley put the home side ahead heading in Pablo Hernandez's corner. Then Chris Woods showed how much he was missed when injured netting twice in 14 minutes to secure another valuable three points. He rifled home on 66 minutes to double the lead before sidefooting his 16th of the season on 79 minutes… Read more

Aston Villa 1 Leeds United 1

Jonathan Kodjia 86 minute penalty following a hand ball by Leeds centre half preserved Aston Villa home record against in-form Leeds. This will be seen as two points dropped by Leeds manager Gary Monk but when he sits down an analysis the game he will be mightily pleased with his sides performance.

On loan Torina star Pontus Jansson headed Leeds in front on 54 minutes from a Dallas corner and six minutes later hit the crossbar with a volley following another corner. It was all Leeds at this stage until Liam Cooper handled and Kodjia sent Rob Green the wrong way from the spot. There was still time for Leeds winger Hadi Sacko to hit the bar and then Rob Green denied Kodjia a winner with a superb body block.

Leeds are in 5th place in The Championship and playing like a team that has a… Read more
