Leeds United picked up a huge win on Saturday, made even better after Sheffield United lost away at Plymouth Argyle.
Leeds United beat Preston North End 2-1 to go back into 1st place of the Championship table after Burnley beat Norwich City on Friday night.
It comes after a turbulent week at the top of the Championship with Sheffield United now having lost three games in a row after losing against Millwall over the weekend.
Chris Wilder was fuming with the referees after that defeat against Millwall and after watching his side lose at Plymouth, he was even more livid.
Leeds United fans react to Chris Wilder incident after Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Sheffield United
After the defeat at Plymouth Argyle, Wilder was involved in a confrontation with the Plymouth Argyle players who appeared to be celebrating in front of the travelling Sheffield United fans.
And Leeds United fans had much to say about the incident. One Leeds fan posted: “Oh dear, someone is feeling the pressure. Wilder losing the plot.”
Others weighed in with comments such as: “He’s absolutely rattled isn’t he,” and also: “Wilder has fully lost his head.”
Meanwhile, many fans picked up on a previous incident where Farke was banned for the Sheffield United game after celebrating a goal in what was the previous game against Sunderland.
“If Farke gets a ban for celebrating vs Sunderland then what should Wilder get for starting this?” asked one Leeds United fan. A similar comment read: “Farke got banned for celebrating a goal Wilder will get nothing.”
One Leeds United supporter also added on the incident at Plymouth: “Wilder having a meltdown.”

The moment where Sheffield United’s season fell apart
Although guaranteed a place in the play-offs at least, three defeats on the spin certainly isn’t good for the Blades who may have quickly said goodbye to their chances of automatic promotion from the Championship, with five points between them and Leeds and Burley in 2nd.
And the Blades’ meltdown may be pinpointed to one precise moment where Wilder called the Sheffield United fans a disgrace after their reaction to defeat against Oxford United earlier in the month.
Since then, it looks like the wheels have come off for Sheffield United and Wilder may only have himself to blame. These latest scenes at Plymouth do him nor his side any favours either.
It’s Oxford United who Leeds United play next, on Friday night.
