Two game days before the end of the season, the league leader can no longer be displaced from a direct promotion zone.
Team manager Daniel Farke led the Leeds United English club back to the Premier League. After the 1: 2 (1: 2) defeat by Sheffield United on Easter Monday at FC Burnley, the champions leader of the Championship is no longer to be displaced from one of the two direct promotion places two of the season before the end of the season. In addition, pursuers Burnley also secured the ticket for the upper house with the victory.
Previously, the team from Yorkshire had already increased the pressure on the competition with a clear 6: 0 (5: 0) victory against Stoke City. “To deliver such a strong performance is really surprising,” said Farke of the BBC: “The whole recognition deserves the boys for the way they dealt with the situation and for the fighting spirit that they have shown in the past few weeks.”
Farke hired the first division on the island in the summer of 2023 to Leeds’ descent from the first division. In his first season with his new club, the former coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach initially failed in the play-off final at FC Southampton.
