“Unbelievable”- Skysport pundits blow away by what Leeds united stay did v Oxford..
Leeds United Take On Oxford as Vaulks Shines on Sky Sports
Leeds United are in action against Oxford United in the Championship on Friday, with the match broadcast live on Sky Sports. Daniel Farke’s side are aiming to overtake Burnley in the race for the top spot, with the match taking place at Kassam Stadium on 18 April.
Despite Oxford giving Leeds a tough first half, the visitors head into the break with a narrow 1-0 advantage. The breakthrough came in the 33rd minute when Manor Solomon found the net following a brilliant assist from Jayden Bogle. However, it was Oxford’s Will Vaulks who stood out earlier in the game for his defensive heroics.
Vaulks Earns Praise After Crucial First-Half Block
Vaulks made a vital contribution when he blocked a powerful effort from Ao Tanaka at the edge of the area, earning praise from pundit Andy Hinchcliffe. The former England defender, speaking on Sky Sports, highlighted the importance of the moment.
“We actually heard the block—Vaulks threw his body on the line, exactly what Oxford need to do,” Hinchcliffe said. “The shot was on target, and while the keeper might have had it covered, Vaulks didn’t take that chance. He did the right thing and stepped in.”
Pressure Mounting on Farke as Leeds Push for Promotion
Daniel Farke is under pressure to guide Leeds back to the Premier League after last season’s heartbreak in the play-off final against Southampton.
A string of three consecutive draws recently saw them slip to third in the table, sparking concern among fans.
However, Sheffield United’s defeat to Plymouth on 12 April has opened the door for Leeds to reclaim a top-two finish.
With just three league games remaining after this clash, securing all three points against Oxford is crucial to easing tensions at Elland Road.
Despite ongoing injury setbacks throughout the campaign, Farke still has one of the strongest squads in the division. He’ll be urging his players to get the job done in the second half and take a big step closer to automatic promotion.
