James seals Leeds´ return to Championship summit as Burnley and Sheff Utd slip up

Leeds United regained top spot in the Championship following a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

Daniel James scored the only goal after just two minutes at the Riverside Stadium, where the hosts’ play-offs hopes suffered a blow.

The Wales international made the vital contribution with his 12th goal of the season, though Leeds also had two goals disallowed for offside.

Nevertheless, Daniel Farke’s side dug deep in the second half to ensure they returned to the summit on goal difference ahead of Burnley.
