Leeds United had a wonderful end to their home run in the Premier League, grabbing a win against Brighton on Sunday. The Whites have remained competitive since their safety was confirmed.
Many fans and pundits thought the team would relax after they survived relegation. But Leeds have defied everyone and have continued to play according to their high standards.
Away to Spurs over a week ago, the team put in a very spirited performance against Roberto De Zerbi’s men. Tottenham were desperate for a result and took the lead in that game. But the Whites fought back to clinch a draw.
It was the same thing against Brighton on Sunday; as the visitors were the better team for a large part of 90 minutes. They could have scored more than one goal in the first half, but Karl Darlow denied them on multiple occasions.
Daniel Farke’s side managed to hold on until they got one chance late in the game, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin pouncing on a backpass to score.
