Leeds United Beats Sheffield United in Comeback Win

Leeds United staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Sheffield United 3-1, solidifying their position at the top of the Championship table. Despite a shaky start, including a significant error by goalkeeper Illan Meslier that gave Sheffield a lead, Leeds rallied with late goals from Junior Firpo, Ao Tanaka, and Joel Piroe. This victory extends Leeds' lead to five points over second-place Sheffield United and seven above Burnley, marking a pivotal moment in their promotion campaign. Manager Daniel Farke watched from the stands due to a touchline ban, while Meslier's performance remains under scrutiny despite the team's success. Meanwhile, Sunderland faces Sheffield Wednesday as both teams seek to recover from recent losses in their Championship pursuits.
