Leeds Held by Blackburn, Portsmouth and QPR Secure Crucial Wins

Posted : 02 January 2025

Leeds United, leaders of the English Championship, were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers after a dramatic finish at Elland Road. Pascal Struijk appeared to have secured the win for Leeds with an 88th-minute penalty, but Blackburn’s Danny Batth scored a last-minute equaliser, denying the hosts all three points. Despite the draw, Leeds remain in top position, while Blackburn continues to push for a play-off spot.

 

In other Championship action, Burnley missed a chance to close the gap at the top with a goalless draw against Stoke at home. The match ended on a sour note for Burnley as Hannibal Mejbri was sent off for a stamp in the closing minutes, further complicating their push for automatic promotion.

 

Meanwhile, Plymouth Argyle, who were playing their first match since Wayne Rooney's departure as manager, secured a 2-2 draw against Bristol City. Julio Pleguezuelo's stoppage-time equaliser earned the hosts a point after they had been twice behind in the game.

 

Portsmouth surged out of the relegation zone with an impressive 4-0 win over Swansea at home. Josh Murphy, Paddy Lane, Ryley Towler, and Colby Bishop were all on the scoresheet at Fratton Park, giving Portsmouth a much-needed victory.

 

Cardiff City held on for a 1-1 draw against Coventry despite the sending-off of Callum Robinson, while Queens Park Rangers further distanced themselves from the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over play-off contenders Watford.

 

Oxford United, under new manager Gary Rowett, continued their winning start with a 1-0 victory over Millwall, thanks to a Ruben Rodrigues header. Sheffield Wednesday secured a 4-2 win over Derby, with Josh Windass scoring a stunning long-range goal from inside his own half. Norwich City defeated Luton 1-0 with a goal from Marcelino Nunez, and West Brom triumphed 3-1 against Preston.
