(Football news) In the Championship table, Norwich is now in eighth place and just one win away from securing a spot in the playoffs, while the home team is sitting in fourth place. 

Preston North End was expected to be easily defeated by Leeds on Sunday, considering the way they had played against Cardiff City and Birmingham City.

The Yorkshire giants were forced to work harder than they may have imagined after the visitors scored an early goal; a last-minute penalty was all that separated them from the triumph, which ended 2-1.

Leeds maintained their position in the top three thanks to Joel Piroe’s penalty kick. The Tractor Boys will play leaders Leicester City on Monday night, and Leeds will remain four points behind Ipswich Town.

Daniel Farke can only be encouraged by his team’s performance, especially at Elland Road where they have won 14 Championship games, regardless of the result of that match.

Their away performance will eventually need to improve, but Farke’s only concern will be defeating his old team, who are exhibiting enough indicators to be considered a playoff contender.
