Saturday afternoon felt like a defeat for Leeds United at Hull City, despite the club initially pulling ahead with a two-goal lead.

After going into the break 1-0 down, Leeds made an impressive comeback with Ao Tanaka, Dan James, and Joel Piroe putting the team 3-1 up.

However, Hull mounted a strong return, and Leeds’ defense, led by Illan Meslier, couldn’t hold firm, allowing Hull to equalize.

Meslier and Leeds Players Show Frustration

The frustration was palpable, not just among Leeds fans but also the players.

Illan Meslier, who had an uncharacteristic poor performance, was seen visibly dejected after the match.

Mateo Joseph, one of the standout players, was involved in a heated exchange with teammates as tensions ran high in the locker room.

This added to the frustration following the two-goal lead that slipped away in the final moments of the game.

Leeds Remain Top of the Championship Despite Draw

Despite the disappointing draw, Leeds United still hold onto the top spot in the Championship.

Sheffield United and Burnley picked up wins, but Leeds’ unbeaten streak of eight games has kept them one point clear at the top.

This result, while disappointing, puts them in a better position than last season, where they were 17 points off the top at this stage.

They will aim to bounce back with a strong performance in their next match.
