Leeds was nowhere to open 20 minutes on Monday night in Bramall Lane, but visitors found their slot in the middle of the first half and were eventually rewarded for their superiority late in the second period.
Junior Firpo canceled his own goal by Illan Meslier, before “Farke Time” hit again while Ao Tanaka went home goal Go-Oran 89 minutes in the competition. Joel Piroe rocket was just a cherry at the top of the cake, while Leeds moved five points at the top.
After the results on Monday, Opta is now evaluating his chances of earning an automatic promotion to 98.1%. In third place, seven points are better than Burnley.
The supercomputer is a bull on Leeds’ chances, but it can barely separate the other two leading candidates. Sheffield UTD is two points better than Clarets in the second, but Opta favors Burnley in the promotion race by only 0.48%.
Sunderland is the only second team that has the hope of earning an automatic promotion, but return defeats in February means that he will probably have to agree on a place for play-off.
The whole series of teams will fight for the last two playoffs, and only seven points separated West Brom in the fifth and QPR in 14th place. Opta is currently projecting Baggies to finish in fifth place, and Coventry Frank Lampard to get into the last place. Blackburn, who has just lost manager John Eustace in Derby, barely missed.
