Daniel Farke described Leeds’s Championship title triumph as “a proud day and an emotionally moving day” after he saw his side clinch top spot in dramatic fashion thanks to Manor Solomon’s injury-time winner against Plymouth at Home Park. The 2-1 win meant they held off Burnley, who beat Millwall 3-1, on goal difference to seal top spot with a century of points. At the other end of the table, Luton suffered a second successive relegation after a 5-3 loss at West Brom.
As the Leeds players and fans celebrated, Farke initially sat alone in the dugout. “I was too tired to celebrate even at the final whistle because I was so focused on winning promotion,” he said. “I really wanted to win this match and win the title for everyone at the club.
