Leeds United has moved to the top of the Championship after defeating Millwall, overtaking Leicester City who have recently been struggling despite having a game in hand. The turnaround in Leeds' performance has been significant, going from being 17 points behind Leicester to leading the league.
"They've peaked at just the perfect time" ๐ Don Goodman believes the momentum is with Leeds in the push for promotion ๐ช https://t.co/3BhhqROpY7
Portsmouth might be leading the way at the top of League One by five points, with just seven games of the season remaining, but John Mousinho is still exercising caution ๐ต
They've led the Championship for nearly all the season and were knocked out of the FA Cup QFs in added time at Chelsea after a valiant comeback. Should #LCFC be given more credit for their achievements so far this season? https://t.co/WL2gPiOsxX
While #LCFC were in FA Cup action, there was an important development in the Championship promotion race. When battle commences again in two weeks it is going to be a 9-game sprint to the end. Who is in the best shape? by @PhilHay_ @TheAthleticFC #LUFC https://t.co/MFWKd9vpYY
Considering the height from which they fell and the huge changes made, in that context do #LCFC deserve more credit for their season so far? Enzo Maresca says battling Leicester deserve more credit โ he has a point https://t.co/pzN98rHE1q
We're Leeds United, we're top of the league!
Itโs hard to know who exactly deserves what in the Championship, but Leeds United are top for the first time and theyโve been trending in that direction for ages now. Leaders on merit. Can they finish it off? https://t.co/ro1aiZa3kz
Get yourself someone who looks at you like @Seffers007 does when Leeds United go top of the Championship! #LUFC Great time this morning watching the game with the @LUFCBayArea crew!! #MOT https://t.co/avX2DiTnPP
#LUFC were SEVENTEEN points behind Leicester on New Year's Day. Now they're top of the league. ๐ด๐จ๐น๐ช๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ต ๐ป๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ป๐ฏ๐ฌ๐น. https://t.co/P24GbYauGo
Leeds go top of the Championship for the first time this season with win against Millwall https://t.co/edRxhFxSQZ
Farke says that if he's thought about it in December, he'd have seen overturning Leicester's 17-point lead as fairly unrealistic. He still thinks Leicester are in the strongest position, because of their game in hand. "I don't want to get over-emotional or over-interpret."

Farke on his reaction to the second goal: "It was a big relief. It gave (the players) the confidence to bring it over the line. With that, the game was more or less done." #lufc
Farke: "I'm pretty proud of the boys. It was a different challenge. It's difficult to create chances against Millwall. It was important not to give anything away. It was a mature performance. I'm really happy with a priceless three points." #lufc
Neil Harris: "Leeds deserved to win the game. No debating that for me." #lufc
Not a great day for Leicester City. Out of the FA Cup and dislodged from the top of the Championship. They were 11 points clear six weeks ago โ but they do have a game in hand. https://t.co/i5qWNR9mlu
