Leicester City secured a significant victory in their Championship title race, coming from behind to defeat Norwich 3-1. Dewsbury-Hall and Mavididi, with Faes playing an important role, led the charge, while Jamie Vardy's late strike sealed the deal amidst criticism of Norwich's deep, unambitious play. This win places Leicester back at the top of the table by a point, keeping their fate in their own hands amidst tight competition from Leeds and Ipswich. In another Championship match, Leeds United drew 1-1 with Hull City, a game marked by missed opportunities, including a notable miss by Bamford, and a midfield struggle that led to Hull's equalizing goal, scored by Byram. The intense competition in the Championship raises the possibility, as noted by Adam Crafton, of a unique situation where teams like Leeds, Ipswich, or Leicester might not secure promotion despite potentially reaching 100 points.
Quite obscene that one of Leeds, Ipswich or Leicester may not go up. Maybe there should be some sort of play-off cancellation trigger point if three teams hit 100 points, which these three may. Or maybe it’s actually more fun to keep the jeopardy. https://t.co/1myDsJiDH8
OFF THE POST! Firpo dribbles in, crosses for Joseph and his touch pings off the post. Leeds recycle possession and send a cross in, Firpo head wide. Still 1-1, 78 mins #LUFC
Yikes - Hull right up the other end and Philogene curls a shot just wide of Meslier's post. This is a proper test #LUFC
Agh! Gray plays in Byram who whips a cross in but a Hull defender just heads it away from Bamford. Close one there. 48 mins #LUFC
And that's the half time whistle #LUFC 1-1 Hull Leeds choosing not to engage in midfield really the downfall for the goal conceded. A good few chances at the other end - Bamford won't want to see his miss again. Hull a tricky team to face here
CLOSE! Bamford skies it from a couple of yards out after James squared a cross to him. Probably should be 2-0 #LUFC
It's Byram! Bundles in at the back post after Summerville's shot saved and parried high up into the air by Ryan Allsop #LUFC
