Leeds United Draws 2-2 Against Swansea, Promotion Hopes Dim

Leeds United's promotion hopes are in jeopardy following a 2-2 draw against Swansea City, where goalkeeper Illan Meslier's mistakes were crucial. Despite a promising start with an early goal from Brenden Aaronson and a penalty save, Meslier dropped a corner leading to Swansea's equalizer and later allowed a near-post shot to slip through for the second goal. Fans are expressing frustration, with many calling for Meslier to be replaced by Karl Darlow and demanding the return of Willy Gnonto to the starting lineup after his impactful late goal. Manager Daniel Farke defended Meslier but also pointed fingers at Ao Tanaka for contributing to the defensive errors. The team now sits precariously in the promotion race, level on points with third-place Burnley and trailing leaders Sheffield United. With only seven matches left, the pressure is mounting on Farke and his squad to secure a playoff spot.
