Late heroics propel Leicester to victory, Ipswich maintains pressure in Championship promotion race

Posted : 03 December 2023

In a dramatic Championship clash, Harry Winks secured a stoppage-time winner for Leicester, helping them triumph 2-1 over West Brom and maintain their position at the top of the table. Despite a recent dip in form, Leicester bounced back as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's header broke the deadlock 18 minutes from time. However, West Brom's resilience came to the fore when Josh Maja equalized in the 89th minute. The Baggies, eager for a late winner, were caught on the counter-attack, with Dewsbury-Hall initiating the charge and setting up Winks to tap into an unguarded net.

 

Enzo Maresca, Leicester's manager, expressed the difficulty of the match, citing the tight schedule with a midweek game. Maresca criticized the scheduling discrepancy, as West Brom played a day earlier, impacting the fairness of the competition. The late victory showcased Leicester's determination to stay atop the Championship standings, claiming their ninth home victory in 10 games.

 

Meanwhile, Ipswich continued their promotion push with a 2-1 win against Coventry, staying just one point behind Leicester in the table. A standout moment came at Portman Road, where Wes Burns scored a wonder goal to complement George Hirst's opener, securing the vital three points.

 

The Championship remained highly competitive, with Leeds putting on a thrilling performance to secure a 3-2 victory against Middlesbrough at Elland Road. The result kept Leeds in the race for promotion, putting pressure on the top two teams.

 

Southampton, just a point behind Leeds, secured a 2-0 win over Cardiff, with Adam Armstrong scoring a double. On the other hand, Birmingham, under Wayne Rooney's management, faced continued struggles as they were held to a goalless draw at home by lowly Rotherham, highlighting the challenges they currently face in the Championship.
