Despite taking the lead in the third minute, Leeds United defeated Danny Rohl’s team 3-0 at Elland Road to secure their 16th Championship victory of the season.
Despite a goal from Manor Solomon in the third minute, the score stayed the same for the following eighty-five minutes. At times, Leeds had to endure pressure, and Illan Meslier, who was under fire, had to make a couple stops.
Josh Windass appeared to be poised to shoot in front of goal, but Ethan Ampadu had to make an inch-perfect tackle. Leeds, however, completed the task and made it back to the Championship top.
Largie Ramazani’s brief appearance was crucial to the victory. After winning the FA Cup last week against Harrogate, the Belgian was placed back on the bench, but he returned to score another goal.
Daniel Farke talks with Largie Ramazani behind the scenes.
Ramazani, a £10 million summer acquisition from Almeria, was considered to be Crysencio Summerville’s replacement, but Daniel Farke felt the label was unjust. He earned a spot in the starting XI because of his strong start.
However, he sustained an injury in October after scoring on his sixth straight league start against Watford. Ramazani has only started one league game since, and that was against Derby County on the road.
Ramazani scored Leeds’ second goal with his left foot on Sunday after coming off the bench. It was a stunning goal. Farke was then questioned about Ramazani’s form when Tanaka threw a Ramazani shot into the net.
Farke talked to Ramazani about his poor play since his injury, saying, “I was a little critical after his injury, so I was delighted for him.” When he returned, his few appearances were unconvincing.
“We discussed this in an honest and open manner. A strong goal in the previous game was crucial to his self-confidence. He is a great guy, and a goal and an assist today will undoubtedly boost his confidence. The return of Largie is welcome.
In 17 Leeds games, Largie Ramazani has seven goals and seven assists.
However, when compared to Leeds’ four wingers, Ramazani has actually generated the fewest goal involvements despite his strong numbers. However, Ramazani has played the fewest minutes because of his ailment.
Even if Ramazani’s assist on Sunday was unintentional, the figures show that he is actually Leeds’ most productive winger. Instead of attempting to create, the Belgian actually shot himself.
In light of the data, Farke should think about starting Ramazani against Norwich this week. Naturally, Ramazani’s equaliser versus Norwich at Carrow Road opened Leeds’ account.
