Huddersfield Town 1 – Leeds United 1 – HT 1-0
Helik (45’+1) Bamford (67′)
What a run this has been since the start of 2024 and has put us in with a chance of getting one of two automatic promotion positions to return straight back to the Premiership, where we belong.
Patrick Bamford salvaged a point for Leeds United as their nine-match winning run came to an end in a feisty West Yorkshire derby against 10-man Huddersfield Town.
Bamford slid in the equaliser midway through the second half as persistent Leeds pressure finally broke stubborn Town resistance.
Crysencio Summerville hit the post in the closing stages as Daniel Farke’s side were unable to earn a victory and maintain a remarkable run which had seen them win every league game this calendar year.
The Terriers, seeking back-to back wins under new manager Andre Breitenreiter, scored in first-half injury time when top scorer Michal Helik knocked the ball home on the rebound from close range.
However, a deserved red card for captain Jonathan Hogg for a second yellow card left Town playing the entire second period a man down – and they were unable to hold firm for what would have been a fourth win in six games since Darren Moore was sacked as boss at the end of January. Two of those victories came under caretaker boss Jon Worthington.
But the draw against a Leeds side sweeping all before them felt every bit as good as those wins, judging by the jubilant scenes after an impressive performance full of grit and determination at a rainy John Smith’s Stadium.
For all their 79% possession, Leeds managed two shots on target, with the only one of the first half an early close-range effort by Summerville that was well blocked by keeper Lee Nicholls.
So 11 games left in the league, with Leicester struggling, hopefully we can carry on with this run and get promoted. Come on Leeds.
