Blackburn Rovers pulled off a surprising win over Leeds United with a late goal from Sammie Szmodics dealing Leeds their first home defeat of the season. Szmodics’ goal, his 30th of the season came after a flick-on from Sam Gallagher and a precise pass from Tyrhys Dolan.

Despite Leeds’ efforts to bounce back from their midweek draw, Blackburn strong defense frustrated them. Leeds missed several chances including an appeal for a penalty in the final moments. Manager Daniel Farke expressed disappointment at the team’s inability to convert chances while Blackburn boss John Eustace praised his team’s effort and togetherness.
