After defeating Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, Leeds United defeated Ipswich Town 2-1 to cap off a nearly flawless weekend. Kieran McKenna responded to the result.
Leeds had a great start to the weekend. Following the first half of Wednesday’s pressure, Patrick Bamford emerged at the back post to head home Junior Firpo’s exquisite low cross.
Daniel Farke called the assistance “perfect.” Willy Gnonto, Georginio Rutter, and Bamford combined brilliantly to score the Italian goal in the second half. a 2-0 victory, 12 victories in 13 league contests.
Relentless pressure was placed on Ipswich, who were scheduled to play again shortly after noon on Saturday. When they travelled to Wales to play Cardiff, it appeared as though Kieffer Moore had guided Ipswich to victory.
However, there was drama late. Cardiff scored the game’s winning goal in the hundredth minute after netting an equaliser in the ninety-fiveth. Leeds is in second place with nine games remaining, and McKenna offered his assessment.
“Who knows? To be honest, we’re not considering a promotion race. Doing the best we can while only considering ourselves, our quest, and the upcoming game. A few aspects of the performance may have been enhanced.
“The second half was really good. Whether we won, drew, or regrettably lost today, it wouldn’t alter our priorities or what we worked on the following week, McKenna was cited by YEP as saying.
Reacting, Kieran McKenna watches Leeds pass Ipswich to move up to second.
What a Leeds weekend that was. Ipswich was not the only team to lose; Leicester also dropped points with a 2-2 draw at Hull, which is still a respectable result considering how well Hull has performed this season.
With nine league games remaining, the Foxes lead Leeds by just three points at this moment. Leeds currently has the best of the top four clubs’ momentum. There are still many surprises this season.
