Leeds United pulled off a dramatic late victory against Sheffield United | England Championship

Leeds United pulled off a dramatic late victory against Sheffield United, scoring two goals in quick succession to secure a 3-1 win in Monday's Championship clash.  The victory prevents Sheffield United from claiming the top spot and propels Leeds five points clear at the summit.

Despite an early scare when Illan Meslier almost conceded an own goal, the Blades took the lead after 14 minutes.  Callum O'Hare's powerful header was tipped onto the bar by Meslier, but Tyrese Campbell's follow-up effort crossed the line after a goalmouth scramble.

Leeds struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half, with Manor Solomon's low drive being their best effort, comfortably saved by Michael Cooper.

The second half saw a more determined Leeds side.  Mateo Joseph squandered a good opportunity before Junior Firpo leveled the score, heading home Daniel James' cross.  Cooper then made a superb save to deny Wilfried Gnonto, but Leeds capitalized on the ensuing corner. Firpo's flick-on found Ao Tanaka, who finished at the far post in the 89th minute.

Just moments later, Joel Piroe sealed the win with a stunning strike, firing past Cooper to complete a remarkable comeback and secure a crucial three points for Leeds.
