6:40 pm
precipice, they hold themselves back to win a third season in the premier league. leeds began the day level on points with burnley, but below the dotted line, brentford would be tricky. little to play for, and leeds appeared to make the perfect start. var begged to differ. that was the bad news— good good news came from burnley. leeds were seeing little of the board and bradford were edging closer. withjust little of the board and bradford were edging closer. with just two goals in the last five games, the odds were against leeds. suddenly a penalty came their way. swiftly dispatched by ruffini, again to ease. newcastle scored at burnley, who pulled one back and brantford equalised. leeds were still staying up equalised. leeds were still staying up and survival was confirmed when jack harrison made it 2—1. but there
