DANIEL FARKE AND LEEDS UNITED MUST BE FEELING CHIPPER TODAY AFTER THEIR IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AT ELLAND ROAD LAST NIGHT! IT WAS A FOUR-GOAL-THRILLER FOR LEEDS, WITH CRACKERS FROM AO TANAKA AT 21 MINS., WILFRIED GNONTO AT 55 MINS., AND A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM LARGIE RAMAZINI AT 82 MINS., AND A STUNNING LATE FINISHER AT 90 +4 MINS! (AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE IF IT WASN’T FOR THE VIGILENCE OF BRISTOL CITY’S GOALKEEPER MAX O’LEARY, WHO MADE SEVERAL SUPERB SAVES!) THE DEFEAT LEAVES LIAM MANNING’S BRISTOL CITY FIFTH, A POINT AHEAD OF COVENTRY CITY AND MILLWALL. TO GUARANTEE THEIR SPOT IN THE PLAY-OFF’S, THEY WILL NEED TO BEAT PRESTON ON SATURDAY. AND UNLESS BURNLEY ARE ABLE TO SCORE IN EXCESS OF 14 GOALS ON SATURDAY, LEEDS WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A VICTORY ...

LOVELY SUNNY WEATHER ON THE SOUTH COAST, A HAPPY CROWD AND TWO TOP TEAMS PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER! WHAT COULD BE BETTER ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON? BOURNEMOUTH MADE 285 PASSES, WITH A 72% PASS ACCURACY AND HAD 8 SHOTS WITH 1 ON TARGET, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A CORKER FROM ANTOINE SEMENYO AT 23 MINS. (JUST CHECK OUT THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE SCORED!) EVANLISON WASN’T SO HAPPY THOUGH AFTER HE WAS AWARDED A YELLOW, WHICH WAS UPGRADED TO A RED CARD BY VAR AFTER A CLUMSY TACKLE ON NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI, WHICH LEFT THEM DOWN TO 10 MEN AT 70 MINS!

WHAT AN UPSET FOR ASTON VILLA LAST NIGHT, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY MADE 547 PASSES, WITH AN 86% PASS ACCURACY (HAD 71% POSSESSION), AND HAD 16 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, THEY JUST COULD NOT REACH THE BACK OF THE NET!  IT WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY FOR CRYSTAL PALACE HOWEVER, WHO MADE A MORE MODEST 238 PASSES, WITH A 72% PASS ACCURACY AND HAD 9 SHOTS WITH 4 ON TARGET, BUT WITH 3 OF THOSE TURNING OUT TO BE MAGNIFICENT GOALS!  EBERECHI EZE PULLED OFF SOME “EZE MAGIC” AT 31 MINS., WITH A FANTASTIC GOAL, AND ISMAILA SARR SCORED A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 58 MINS.
