Leeds United remain in the relegation zone after Aston Villa came from behind to secure victory at Elland Road thanks to a Morgan Rogers second-half brace. The hosts took the lead through Lukas Nmecha after eight minutes, but Villa rallied in the second period.

What happened?

Leeds United started the day in the bottom three, and victory was a must to ease the pressure on manager Daniel Farke. After taking the lead, they were deserving of their half-time advantage, with their intensity putting the visitors on the back foot.

Why it matters for Leeds United

The result does not ease any of the pressure on Farke, with three of the league's most expensive squads to face in the coming fortnight. As of 25 Jun 2026, Leeds United are 14th in the Premier League, with 47 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDWD.

What comes next?

Leeds United have a mountain to climb, with Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool up next in the fixture list. Their goal difference is -7, with 49 scored and 56 conceded. They are 38 points behind leaders Arsenal.
