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. Patrick Bamford’s absence replaced by Piroe didn’t hinder Leeds who capitalized on their speed and sharpness.

The victory marked Leeds’ most significant win over Swansea since 1963 and solidified their goal difference advantage over third-placed Southampton. Leeds manager Daniel Farke praised the disciplined performance and team spirit emphasizing the successful execution of their game plan.

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.
