Jamie Carragher outlines the 'huge' importance of Leeds United's win over Norwich City

Jamie Carragher has outlined the importance Leeds United's victory over Norwich City. The Whites won in dramatic fashion thanks to Joe Gelhardt's stoppage time strike.

In a game of huge significance towards the bottom of the Premier League, the Whites began on the front foot and took an early lead through Rodrigo, who latched on to Daniel James' pass before firing the ball into the corner via a deflection. Leeds missed a number of chances to doubled their advantage, as Raphinha hit the woodwork twice and Patrick Bamford failed to hit the target from a one-on-one opportunity. And the Whites were punished when Kenny McLean levelled in stoppage-time.

However, Jesse Marsch's side didn't give up and scored a dramatic last-gasp winner as Raphinha squared the ball across to Gelhardt, who tapped home to spark delirium amongst the Leeds faithful. It was a win that moved the Whites four points clear of the relegation zone - which is a healthy cushion heading into the final nine matches.
