Honestly Leeds fans are unbelievable”- Beren Cross shared Unusual Leeds Fan Reactions During Preston Clash
Leeds United Fans in Full Voice During Crucial Win Over Preston
Leeds United supporters were in fine form during their side’s 2-1 victory over Preston North End on Saturday.
The Whites hosted former manager Paul Heckingbottom at Elland Road on 12 April and came away with a vital win to keep their promotion hopes alive. Goals from Manor Solomon and Jayden Bogle helped push Leeds back to the top of the Championship table, overtaking Burnley.
It was a near-perfect afternoon for the club, and journalist Beren Cross highlighted the passionate reaction from fans throughout the match.
Karl Darlow Earns the Love of Leeds Faithful
While Daniel Farke’s team has impressed this season, one area of concern has been in goal, where Illan Meslier’s inconsistency has caused anxiety among fans.
Despite repeated errors, including costly mistakes against Swansea City, Meslier had retained his place until recently. But Farke finally made a change, bringing in Karl Darlow — a decision that has paid off handsomely.
Darlow has started the last three games and has delivered solid performances in each, including the win over Preston. Fans were particularly delighted by his commanding presence during set pieces, with Beren Cross noting on X (12 April): “Honestly, these Darlow claims off corners are being celebrated like goals in the stands.”
Darlow’s Impact Doesn’t Go Unnoticed
Years of frustration with Meslier’s inconsistency — despite his moments of brilliance — seemed to come to a head this season, with major mistakes against Sunderland and Swansea proving costly.
Darlow, stepping in at a crucial moment, has seized his chance. And while he didn’t keep a clean sheet against Preston, his performance still impressed the Elland Road faithful.
His composure under pressure and reliable handling brought a sense of calm to the defense, making a significant difference as Leeds secured three important points in their push for promotion.
