Leeds United took a huge step towards sealing promotion with a 1-0 win at Oxford United - but how did we rate the performances?
Leeds dominated from outset - albeit after a good early Karl Darlow save - and Daniel Farke’s Whites finally went ahead in the 33rd minute through Manor Solomon.
A superb defence splitting pass from Joe Rodon played in Jayden Bogle who himself delivered a perfect right-flank cross for Solomon who slammed home an easy finish at the far post.
Despite a host of other chances, Solomon’s strike proved the only goal of the game, Ao Tanaka coming the closest to bagging a second when his superb low strike was tipped on to the post.
One goal, though, proved enough for a massive three points. Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores from a huge victory for Daniel Farke’s Whites.
