Leeds Climbs to Second in Championship with Convincing Win over Swansea

Leeds continued their flawless start to 2024 in the league securing their seventh consecutive win against a stunned Swansea. Goals from Crysencio Summerville former Swansea player Joel Piroe and Wilfried Gnonto established Leeds’ dominance by halftime.

Gnonto added a fourth goal in the second half propelling Leeds to the second spot in the Championship. Despite Swansea’s recent win under Luke Williams, they faced a reality check and dropped to 17th place.

Swansea’s head coach Luke Williams acknowledged facing formidable opponents but criticized his team’s lack of belief, hesitancy and failure to apply enough pressure.
