On Sunday night (21st), Leeds United lost their second consecutive match in which they scored first, and lost 1-3 to Westham, the Hammers.
Leeds United had a good start to the game, Lodigo opened the scoring in 17 minutes, but then Westham took control of the game and Leeds United could not even cross the halfway line. In 31 minutes, the Hammers helped Charl Pauwun to cross the ball from the right side, and Di Granlaius scored the equalizer at the far post. In the second half, Westham still dominated the game. In 72 minutes, Charlo Paulo scored a goal with a quick shot from the wedge, which was checked by VAR and was not offside, so the goal was valid. After that, Leeds United pressed all the players, giving Westham a wild counter-attack, and in the stoppage time, Lancini scored more than one goal, which made Leeds United lose the game.
After that loss, Leeds United are now in the bottom 3 with 31 points, 2 points behind Ewarton who are in the bottom 4 of the safety line. With Tottenham Hotspur and Ewarton against Ponemouth next week, Leeds United's relegation defense is a tough sell. Meanwhile in the EPL, Brighton beat Southampton 3-1 at home to move up to 6th place, 4 points ahead of 8th place Tottenham, and at least finish the season in the top 7, with a good chance of qualifying for the next Europa League, as their goal difference is much better than that of 7th place Aston Villa, who are 3 points behind them.
