Leeds United - marching on to the Play-Off Final
Leeds United are just one win away from regaining a place in football’s top flight after a gutsy 2-0 victory against Preston. Leeds have had a two-year exile from the Premiership and are looking to end that in the Play-Off Final to be held at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff against Watford or Crystal Palace a week on Sunday. A lucrative place in the Premiership is at stake.
It was a tough battle between the two teams, with no love lost on either side. Nine-man Leeds upset the odds with two goals in the space of four minutes from Rob Hulse and Frazer Richardson which settled their play-off semi-final with Preston.
With the first leg ending in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road on Friday, North End enjoyed the better of the first half but Leeds’ double strike just before the hour put them almost out of Preston’s reach.
United, who had six other players cautioned, had defender Stephen Crainey and Richard Cresswell both sent off for two yellow cards. Both players will be suspended for the final.
