“Leeds United’s Late Drama Seals Win Over QPR After Dominant Display at Elland Road”

“Leeds United Bounce Back with Convincing 2-0 Win Over QPR, But Nervy Finish Raises Concerns”

Leeds United put their midweek setback against Millwall behind them in the best possible way, securing a 2-0 victory over QPR at Elland Road. Dominating possession throughout, Daniel Farke’s side initially took control with Jayden Bogle’s early goal in the 19th minute. Despite their dominance, Leeds struggled to kill off the game, leaving fans on edge until Joel Piroe’s injury-time strike sealed the win and ensured they stayed hot on the heels of league leaders Sunderland.

While the result was important, the Whites’ inability to extend their lead earlier in the match raised some concerns, especially after a nervy second half. With a two-week break ahead, Leeds now face an away test against an in-form Swansea City on November 24.

Here’s how the national media reacted to the victory at Elland Road, alongside the verdict from our own Beren Cross.

Nancy Froston’s take in The Athletic certainly adds a unique spin to Leeds United’s performance against QPR. It captures the unpredictable nature of the Championship, especially under Daniel Farke’s high-octane style. The chaotic goal from Jayden Bogle, as described, fits the bill perfectly, highlighting that while Leeds were in control possession-wise, they still seem to have an element of unpredictability in their play. It’s a reminder of the highs and lows the club has experienced, particularly after their midweek loss at Millwall, where they struggled to maintain consistency.

Despite that, the fact that Leeds were able to push through and secure the three points, even in a game that had its chaotic moments, is important. Farke’s side is still very much in the race, and keeping up the pressure on Sunderland with a win like this shows they have the resilience, even if things don’t always go according to plan. That last-minute strike from Joel Piroe was a much-needed cushion, ensuring they didn’t let QPR off the hook.

With Swansea up next, Leeds will need to find that balance between control and chaos, especially given the form that Swansea have shown recently. It could be a test for Farke’s men, and a chance for some of the newer players, like Largie Ramazani, to continue making their mark.

The BBC’s report on Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over QPR emphasizes the team’s resilience and relentless pressure. After a rare defeat to Millwall, this win was crucial in restoring their momentum and keeping their promotion hopes alive. Leeds’ dominance was clear, with Jayden Bogle’s first-half goal and a late strike from Joel Piroe ensuring all three points.

Despite a host of missed chances, Leeds’ persistence paid off, as they continued to pile pressure on QPR throughout the match. The report highlights how QPR fought valiantly, but Leeds’ overall superiority in creating chances and the eventual clinical finish from Piroe underscored the quality of Farke’s side. This victory kept Leeds just behind Sunderland at the top of the table, as they head into their two-week break with confidence.

Sky Sports’ coverage of Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over QPR highlights their dominance throughout the match, despite struggles to finish off their chances. After a disappointing loss to Millwall, Daniel Farke’s side bounced back strongly, with Jayden Bogle’s early goal and Joel Piroe’s clinical strike in stoppage time ensuring all three points.

The report underscores Leeds’ commanding performance, although it notes that they failed to fully capitalize on their dominance until the late goal from Piroe. For QPR, the defeat marked another tough blow as they slipped to the bottom of the Championship table, highlighting their ongoing struggles this season. Despite the win, Leeds’ inability to convert chances more easily remains a point of concern, but the result was important in keeping their promotion hopes alive.

Beren Cross’ take on Leeds United’s 2-0 win over QPR in Leeds Live acknowledges the importance of the result but offers a more measured view on the performance. While Leeds dominated the stats with 69% possession, 21 shots, and an expected goals (xG) tally of 2.16, Cross felt the performance was a bit “workmanlike” and lacked the flair fans might expect from a team chasing promotion.

Despite this, Cross highlights that victories like this are crucial in a long Championship season, especially after a challenging week. Leeds took the three points, which was the main objective, but the match against a struggling QPR side left a feeling that they could have done more. The game lacked the decisive margin Leeds fans might have hoped for, allowing QPR to remain in contention for parts of the second half.

In the end, the result was what mattered most, and Cross emphasizes that it’s a win Daniel Farke would take without hesitation as his side keeps up the pressure on Sunderland.
