Leeds United’s game against Oxford United sprung up few talking points. But the Whites got the job done, and in the end, it was an empathic afternoon for Leeds at Elland Road.

The opening stages of Leeds United’s game against Oxford United certainly wasn’t a classic. Leeds were on top and got an early goal through Dan James, but they weren’t blowing Oxford away.

Leeds United were predicted a 4-0 win and as Oxford United capitulated in the second half, that’s what the scoreline finished as.

Second half goals came from Jayden Bogle, Brenden Aaronson, and Manor Solomon before Daniel Farke made four substitutions in the space of a few minutes.

But Leeds held on for a very convincing win in the end, maintaining their spot in 2nd place of the Championship table but still three points behind Sheffield United who won 2-0 at Cardiff City.

Elsewhere ear the top, Sunderland came from behind to beat Norwich City 2-1, and Burnley beat Watford 2-1 as well.
