Leeds United’s Championship promotion hopes faded over the weekend.
Leicester City could not resist taking a swipe at Leeds United after securing the Championship title on Monday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side saw automatic promotion confirmed after Leeds were thumped 4-0 at Queens Park Rangers on Friday, needing only a point at Preston come Monday to secure first-place. They eventually won 3-0 thanks to a brace from Jamie Vardy, with Kasey McAteer netting the third.
After the full-time whistle went at Preston, the official X account of Leicester used their first post as a promoted team to quote the lyrics ‘I Predict A Riot’. Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also re-posted an old video of Georginio Rutter after the win over Leicester, where the Whites talisman suggesting his side are the best in the league. Leeds will hope to join Leicester in the automatic promotion places come Saturday, but currently Farke’s side are outsiders to do so.
