Leeds maintain Premier League push with big win in Yorkshire derby

Promotion rivals Sheffield Wednesday were left to rue a missed Jordan Rhodes penalty.

CHRIS WOOD’S 23RD goal of the season earned Leeds a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road in the Championship today.

The hosts had to fight hard for the victory, with Rob Green expertly saving Jordan Rhodes’ second-half penalty.

The result means Leeds go three points clear of Wednesday, and are now fourth in the table, seven points off an automatic promotion spot.

    The way he places the ball at the ref’s feet in that first gif is hilarious. He was unbelievable at the breakdown on Saturday. An absolute tank.

    Zebo didn’t have 4 big positives like this, did he? SOB no pistaches, either.

    I was myself happy both played well (we need an alternative to Kearney) but SOB was clearly better.

    I reckon that a back row of O Mahony, Henry and O Brien is our best scavenging back row.
    I would love to see it against a team like Australia who could play Pocock and Hooper.
