Leeds United Goal of the Season contenders as stunning strikes and vital goals vie for top spot

Jack Harrison's excellent strike to make it 3-0 to Leeds United's against Watford last weekend made certain of a vital three points in the Whites' quest to pull away from the danger of the bottom three. Coupled with Burnley's loss to Norwich City the next day, it meant Leeds are nine points clear of 18th place and sitting on 33 points.

The goal - and the result - will have allowed Leeds fans to breathe again after earlier results had dialled the pressure up on Jesse Marsch's side. Now though, Leeds are just two points away from 35, which has been enough to secure survival in the last five Premier League seasons.

As it is, if the Whites don't pick up a single point from now on, Burnley still need to win three of their final eight fixtures to catch Leeds. Given they have only won four all season, this seems unlikely.
