Leeds United continue to march on in the Championship, with their comeback 3-1 win over leaders, Leicester City, bringing them to within six points of the Foxes.
It was also the ninth league win in a row for Daniel Farke’s side as they continue their good form just at the right stage of the season.
Leeds silenced after Leicester opener
Elland Road was silenced on the quarter hour as Wout Faes headed the visitors in front from a corner, and with 10 minutes left to play the score was still the same.
Then a three-goal burst in the final 10 minutes from Connor Roberts, Archie Gray and Patrick Bamford sealed the victory and started a party atmosphere in the stands.
The game ebbed and flowed for the most part though there was one particular decision from the match official that drew derision on social media from BBC Leicester man, Matt Piper.
Craig Pawson is pony!! ?????

‘Craig Dawson is pony’ he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
It was a savage put down arguably by someone who should know better and it remains to be seen whether he’ll be hauled over the coals for making the comment.
Clearly, his club allegiance got the better of him in what was the game of the season for both sides.
The referee wasn’t as good as that to be honest
Can you really get censored for telling the truth. Firstly he incorrectly booked Ricardo and let worst tackles go unpunished. Finally the disallowed goal he was closer than the linesman. No wonder he’s been demoted from the Premier.
Totally agree.
Why can’t there be a VAR on the referee during the game as the tv proved the correct decision within seconds so the VAR people must be seeing the same as us.
Why haven’t we heard from the idiot Pawson to say “yep he got it wrong”? Too many times the refs get away with it, not owning up to poor officiating. In fact two POOR decisions – Ricardo’s yellow card – WHAT were you thinking? and Daka’s disallowed goal. CRAIG PAWSON YOU ARE PITYFUL based on your display at Leeds.
