Leeds United scored three late goals to complete a stunning turnaround

Leeds United scored three late goals to complete a stunning turnaround and secure a ninth successive league win at the expense of Championship leaders Leicester. The Foxes looked to be heading for victory before substitute Connor Roberts levelled in the 80th minute and teenager Archie Gray sparked pandemonium moments later when his deflected strike beat Mads Hermansen at his near post. With Leicester losing their discipline, Dan James' 20-yard free-kick in stoppage time bounced off Patrick Bamford and in to move second-placed Leeds to within six points of Leicester. In an action-packed encounter at Elland Road, the visitors took a deserved lead when Wout Faes, who had the final touch on Gray's strike, headed in unmarked from a corner.

Daka was onside when Vestergaard made contact with the ball and Leeds' Georginio Rutter then deflected the rebound into the Leicester man's path before he fired into the net. The Zambian striker missed a brilliant chance to make it 2-0 when he shot wide when played in on goal and that miss proved to be very costly as the Foxes fell to a second straight defeat.

Boss Daniel Farke had warned his side against being "over-motivated" for this game, while Foxes counterpart Maresca said the match was "huge" for the home side given how far they were behind Leicester. Joel Piroe wasted a fine chance to give the hosts an early advantage before the visitors grew into the contest and went in front. Faes became just the second player to score a league goal against the Whites in 2024 when he headed in after Daka had flicked on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's corner. Chances came and went for both sides thereafter in a stretched first half. Piroe headed wide almost immediately after Faes' goal, while Vestergaard came in with a perfectly-timed last-ditch tackle to deny the busy Crysencio Summerville. Leeds struggled for any sort of
