Giant twist provides massive boost in Leeds United promotion bid after Owls win and huge change
An incredible twist after Friday night's win at Sheffield Wednesday has led to a massive boost in Leeds United's automatic promotion bid.
Leeds United have received a massive boost on the back of Friday night's victory at Sheffield Wednesday with an incredible twist and hammer blow for a key promotion rival leading to a major change.
Leeds moved back into the Championship's second automatic promotion place with Friday night's 2-0 success against the Owls at Hillsborough which put them one place and one point above Ipswich Town who dropped to third place.
Ipswich then had the chance to move back above Leeds with victory in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off at Cardiff City and the Tractor Boys looked set to bag another three-point haul as Kieffer Moore put them 1-0 up with 11 minutes left.
But incredibly, Cardiff pulled off a stunning comeback to record a 2-1 success as a 95th-minute equaliser from Ryan Wintle was followed by a winner from Callum O'Dowda in the tenth minute of stoppage time.
The result has left United's automatic promotion destiny very much back in their own hands with nine games to go as the Whites stay one point ahead of third-placed Ipswich and with a much better goal difference.
