Patrick Bamford has now scored seven goals in 10 Championship games for Leeds United since the turn of the year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Leeds United moved up to second in the Championship as they ended Sheffield Wednesday’s four-game winning run with an assured Yorkshire derby victory at Hillsborough.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Patrick Bamford put the visitors ahead on the verge of half-time as he tapped in at the far post from Junior Firpo’s fine left-wing delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Owls defence was caught out again for Leeds’ second as Wilfried Gnonto fired in following a swift Leeds attacking move.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a difficult night for second-bottom Wednesday, who offered little in response after Bamford’s opener, as they could not continue their fine recent form to move out of the drop zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victory for Leeds means they leapfrog Ipswich Town into second place, going a point above the Tractor Boys – who face Cardiff on Saturday – and two behind leaders Leicester.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the hosts, however, their winning run came to an abrupt end and they remain in 23rd position, level on points with Stoke and Huddersfield in a crowded battle for Championship survival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday almost took the lead in the 16th minute when Marvin Johnson’s corner fell to Djeidi Gassama, whose close-range finish was kept out by a stunning block from Leeds keeper Illan Meslier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Georginio Rutter twice came close for the visitors, first when he tried to lob Wednesday keeper James Beadle and then glanced an effort on to the top of the net.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four minutes of time were added on to the first half after a break in play, when Joe Rodon and Firpo collided, but the additional time benefitted Leeds. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bamford prospered with his seventh goal in 10 league games in 2024 as Owls defender Akin Famewo failed to pick him up when Firpo delivered a delicious ball into the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds doubled their advantage in the 58th minute after Meslier launched a free-kick upfield, with Rutter eventually sending Gnonto through to finish with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke’s side should have further added to their lead from the restart as Crysencio Summerville went clear and forced a solid save from Beadle. <\/span><\/p>\n

But they held on for a resolute victory against their Yorkshire rivals – their 11th in 12 league games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owls boss Danny Rohl told BBC Radio Sheffield:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I think we showed a big fight – to take something from just an opponent like this you have to defend really well, and in these two conceded goals we didn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The key moment, the first goal before half-time, was a bit of a knock, especially emotionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is football – we have to take it, we have to learn from our mistakes. We had some good moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think we showed that we have weapons – all in all a bit disappointed, but we have to keep going and we showed this in the last weeks.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds head coach Daniel Farke told BBC Radio Leeds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was a well-deserved win. It was a controlled performance. You could feel that they were on a good run, they played with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They’re always dangerous on the counter-attack and set-pieces but we had so much control over the game, especially in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Perhaps in the first half we allowed them to have a few too many corners. That’s the only point I can criticise.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a great cross from Junior Firpo and a perfect strike from Patrick Bamford. In the second half we were very much in control and scored the second goal. We should have perhaps scored a third.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They didn’t really have one chance and it was a very controlled performance, especially keeping in mind it was our fourth game in 10 days.”<\/span><\/p>\n
