There were a number of incidents on Sunday night during the Leeds United game.
Daniel Farke welcomed back all his players who were called up for the international break with zero injuries. Brenden Aaronson was the only one who missed a game due to illness. Leeds had some solid performances during the break, Joe Rodon and Mateo Joseph earned plaudits for their countries.
Leeds United found out on Saturday night, that they hade the best chance of climbing to the top of the table. Just a few weeks ago, a win over Millwall during midweek could have sent Daniel Farke’s men top of the table, but they suffered a shock defeat. Before the game, Swansea had only lost one championship game at their home.
They made no mistake this time around, as they beat the Swans 4-3 away from home. Manor Solomon was on the scoresheet twice, and Wilfried Gnonto popped up with a late winner to secure all three points.

Swansea refused to go down, and even scored first after eight minutes. Solomon equalized, but the Swans scored again to take a 2-1 lead into half time. Right out of the halftime break, Ben Cabongo scored an own goal to level the game. Manor Solomon scored what he thought was the winner after 73 minutes. Florian Bianchini thought he had secured a point for Swansea, but a calm finish from Gnonto in added time sealed the game.
An incident happened late in the game when Leeds were chasing the result. During the game, Farke could be seen speaking to fitness coach Chris Domogalla about something on the touchline. The Leeds boss then walked up to a group of players on the touchline and shouted and gestured at them to put more intensity in their warmups. The players in question were Largie Ramazani, Charlie Crew and James Debayo. Farke brough on Debayo for his first team debut, the third academy product he has given minutes to this season.
