Summary:
- Leeds United dominated the game against Bristol City from start to finish, winning 4-0.
- The Whites racked up 23 shots and kept Bristol City to a single effort on target in injury time.
- Bristol can still secure a playoff spot with a win against Preston in their final game.
Leeds United continued their scorching form with another emphatic display at Elland Road, dismantling Bristol City 4-0 to move within touching distance of the EFL Championship title.
The Whites Were Unstoppable
Following their 6-0 rout of Stoke just days earlier, Leeds once again looked unstoppable, overwhelming the visitors with relentless pressure and quality.
A win at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday will mathematically confirm them as champions, unless Burnley can somehow overturn a 14-goal swing.
It took a bit of time for the home side to convert their dominance into goals, but once Ao Tanaka finished off a Manor Solomon cross, cleverly worked from a corner, the floodgates threatened to open.
Leeds recorded 23 shots over the match, while Bristol City managed just one effort on target, and that didn’t come until injury time.
Bristol City managed to stay within touching distance going into the break, largely thanks to goalkeeper Max O’Leary, who pulled off a brilliant triple-save shortly after halftime.
However, he couldn’t do much about Leeds’ second, brought by Joel Piroe’s superb long ball that he sprayed into the path of Wilfried Gnonto, who made no mistake in doubling the lead.
Ramazani Scored Twice, Celebrated with Backflip
The electric atmosphere in the stadium only grew from there. Barely a minute after coming on as a substitute, Largie Ramazani tapped in a third from Junior Firpo’s low cross.
After taking heat earlier in the season, Ramazani celebrated with a jubilant backflip, much to the delight of the crowd.

He wasn’t done, either. In stoppage time, he broke free again, charging onto a long ball before firing in his second and capping off a truly dominant team performance.
Despite the worst loss in Bristol City’s campaign, they still control their own playoff destiny. A win at home against Preston will guarantee them fifth place.
Former Leeds forward Michael Bridges summed up the night, saying it was the first time he heard Daniel Farke’s name sung by the fans this season
We’ve witnessed a team four positions below Leeds blown away by them, and that’s on the back of a promotion party last week where they had two or three days off.
Leeds manager, Daniel Farke, commented on what he described as one of their “best performances of the season”, adding that their ability to finish their home game “in this style” and get to 97 points “speaks volumes” of his “lads“.
Bristol City boss Liam Manning called the match “everything we didn’t want it to be” while emphasizing the need to “wake up tomorrow, stick together and respond in the right way“.
