SPORTS 30 LEEDS suffered a blow in their bid to win promotion to the Premier League as Swansea snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw at Elland Road yesterday. Daniel Farke’s side were unable to respond after being knocked off top spot by Sheffield United’s win over Coventry on Saturday. With the battle for automatic promotion via a top two finish in the Championship growing more tense by the week, Leeds had made the perfect start when Brenden Aaronson bundled the ball home inside a minute. Swansea were handed a chance to level in the 14th minute, only for Illan Meslier to turn Josh Tymon’s penalty behind. But Meslier went from hero to villain in the 64th minute as he dropped a corner, allowing Harry MONDAY | MAR 31, 2025

Leeds’ promotion push dented

level on points with West Brom in seventh place. Second-half goals from Kelechi Iheanacho and Neto Borges fired Middlesbrough’s revival after Michal Helik’s opener for Oxford. Fourth-placed Sunderland beat Millwall 1-0 at the Stadium of Light via Trai Hume’s 20th minute goal. Second-bottom Luton claimed a crucial 1-0 win at fellow strugglers Hull thanks to Alfie Jones’ bizarre own goal at the start of the second half. A clearance from Lewie Coyle hit Jones in the face, with the ball flying past goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. The win took Luton to within two points of safety and four ahead of bottom side Plymouth, who held Watford to a goalless draw. Hull are three points above the bottom three, one points clear of Cardiff, who drew 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday.

Darling to level. Willy Gnonto looked to have won it for Leeds with a close-range effort in the 86th minute, moments after coming off the bench, but Zan Vipotnik smashed in the leveller six minutes into stoppage-time. Farke said he is“100% convinced”that Leeds will play in the Premier League next season despite missing the chance to go back to the top. “We have gone many, many steps and right now it’s the final step. That’s always the most difficult,“ he told BBC Sport . “If you ask me right now, I’m 100% convinced

that next season we will play in the Premier League.” Leeds are two points behind leaders Sheffield United and level on points with third-placed Burnley, who beat Bristol City 1-0 at Turf Moor thanks to Zian Flemming’s fine free-kick. Sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion were unable to take advantage of the defeats for playoff rivals Coventry and Bristol City as Josh Sargent’s stoppage-time goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat at Norwich. Middlesbrough came from behind to beat Oxford 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium, moving them

Palace sweep aside Fulham

RM234,941.10

O LIVER GLASNER lauded “amazing” Eberechi Eze after Crystal Palace cruised into the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Eze was at the heart of Palace’s dominance in West London, with the England international scoring and assisting Ismaila Sarr prior to Eddie Nketiah’s strike in the second half. His goal came after he got his first in international colours during England’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia earlier this week. “I think Ebere has had a strange season, he hasn’t had many goals in the Premier League and he has been unlucky, but he keeps going, he’s also struggled with strange injuries,” Glasner said after the match. “The goal against Latvia and his first for England means a lot for him him. “He always has the confidence, we know he’s an amazing finisher to cut inside on his right foot with an amazing finish. We need this quality, he helped us today massively.” Eze’s moment of brilliance came in the form of a magical solo dribble inside and strike into the far right corner. The attacking midfield player then delivered a perfect cross into the path of the surging Sarr who nodded past Bernd Leno to double Palace’s advantage. “We never lost our belief, we fought in the game,” Glasner added. “Our first hello in the game was (Jefferson) Lerma hitting the post, the second was Eze who was important today with an amazing goal, our structure was better and defending was better, it was a great win today.”

Victory yesterday marked Palace’s fifth successive win in all competitions as they now prepare for a first Wembley trip in three years. “I think it’s something special that the two semifinals are played in the same stadium as the final and this is something very English,” Glasner said. “I really like it and we will be ready in four weeks to win this game.” The Crystal Palace supporters were singing about their trip to Wembley but Glasner would not be drawn on his thoughts on what it would mean if his side were able to lift a trophy at the national stadium. “I don’t want to talk about winning a trophy because even in the next game we can’t win a trophy. It is just the semifinals,” he said. “When you enter a cup competition it doesn’t matter if you lose in round No. 1 or the semifinals, we enter the competition to win it.” Rodrigo Muniz almost broke the deadlock for Fulham in what was a promising first 20 minutes for the hosts. However, the Cottagers struggled in the final third, only putting three of their 16 shots on target. “It’s a big punch in our stomach,” boss Marco Silva said. “We need to react, we can’t hide, we need to move forward in the last eight weeks of the season which are really important for us. “No one expected what happened after (first 20 minutes), but the game is not 20 minutes long. “We had two great chances in those 20 minutes from (Andreas) Pereira and Muniz, the reality is we didn’t score, we were not strong in both ends this afternoon.” – The Independent
