Leeds United's Promotion Bid Stalled by Late Equaliser vs Swansea

News summary

Leeds United's hopes for automatic promotion were dealt a setback as they drew 2-2 with Swansea City at Elland Road, conceding a last-minute equalizer on Saturday. Leeds started strong, with Brenden Aaronson scoring just 35 seconds into the match, but the team's fortunes turned when goalkeeper Illan Meslier dropped a corner, allowing Harry Darling to equalize. Despite a late goal from substitute Willy Gnonto, Zan Vipotnik's 96th-minute strike denied Leeds the victory, leaving them two points behind leaders Sheffield United and level on points with third-placed Burnley. The draw marks a troubling trend for Leeds, who have only one win in their last five matches, while Swansea remains safely above the relegation zone. Middlesbrough and Sunderland also secured important wins, tightening the competition for playoff spots in the Championship. Luton Town managed a vital victory against Hull City, further complicating the relegation battle.
