Leeds United underlined their Championship promotion credentials on Friday night by beating Leicester City at the King Power Stadium
Leeds United claimed their biggest result of the season so far on Friday night as they saw off league leaders Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium. It was a huge statement of intent from the Whites, stunning the Foxes, who had won 13 of their 14 Championship outings before the clash, through Georginio Rutter’s second-half goal.
He couldn’t miss, in truth, with the goal gaping, but he’ll hope to build up something of a rhythm now in front of goal and make hitting the back of the net a habit. Rutter has never been particularly prolific throughout his short career so far, but he can take the next step in his career now by making goals a key part of his game.Kamara picked up the man of the match award on Friday night and it’s not hard to see why.
Respond he did, reaching out with a strong right hand to pull off one of the saves of the season and hook Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s header off the line in the closing minutes of the contest. That saw Leeds make sure of all three points and saw the Frenchman secure a sixth clean sheet of the season.Leicester were pegged back by the Whites, but the win really hammered home the message to Ipswich Town that Farke’s side are not about to drop off in the hunt for automatic promotion.
The 24-year-old has impressed when he’s been in the side this season, but he’ll have to work hard if he is to play a key role as the winter months draw in and the schedule gathers pace.
