Leeds United abandoned more points in the promotion race after a 2-2 draw against Swansea City, in which there were two goals last, one for each side.
The whites are now two points behind the leaders of the Sheffield United championship and level the points with Burnley, third. They may seriously fall into the playoffs for a long time.
It was the perfect start to the Daniel Farke team, who scored at the first minute. Attacking midfielder Brendan Aaronson, who had a hard time for a coherent form this term, ended his drought of eight games With a shot inside the six -meter box, clinging to the end of a loose ball.
A little over ten minutes later, goalkeeper Illan Meslier achieved a brilliant penalty backup to deny Josh Tymon at 12 meters, and there took the swans until 64th minute to finally draw. Harry Darling jumped on a leeds goalkeeper error from a corner to be equalized.
Young striker Wilfried Gnonto thought he had won Leeds the match one minute after walking on the field in the 85th minute. It was a thunderous strike, flowing on a release of a corner and pulling home at the back of the net.
However, Swansea scored a late equalizer through Zan Vipotnik, who was another strike that Meslier could have done better.
Meslier’s statistics against Swansea
It was really a mixed bag of a number one game from Leeds. On the one hand, he saved a penalty, guessing correctly and plunging low to his left to prevent Tymon. However, he made a huge mistake for the first goal of the Swans and should have done better with the second.
His error for Darling’s goal was really poor. Meslier was the highest to claim the corner but dropped the ball and overthrow it on the defender’s path, who gratitude the house.
For the equalizer, the strike has passed under the right hand stretched by Meslier, another effort that he could have saved.
A person who criticized Meslier’s performance was Journalist live from Leeds Isaac Johnson. He gave the French a 4/10 for his projection, explaining that he had made “yet another error” for Swansea’s objectives, which he seems to do far too often.
As poor as Meslier played against Welsh outfit, he was by no means the only leeds player to have struggled. In fact, someone at the other end of the field also achieved a disappointing performance.

Football Fanct Fancast’s Chalkboard Series presents a tactical discussion of the whole world game.
The 25 -year -old Dutchman has never really entered the match against his former club, and although he had an effort saved in the second half, he was not largely involved in the match. He received a 5/10 from Johnson, who said he said he had not done much ”, especially after his strike.
Indeed, this is reflected in its Statistics via Sofascore. The former PSV striker Eindhoven had only 37 keys in the match and only completed 70% of his passes. Outside the ball, he only won two of his ten duels attempts. It was a really difficult day at the Piroe office.

Perhaps this performance will arouse worries about its ability to the Premier League. The high flight is undoubtedly a step in place, and although it has Managed 15 goals This term, its lack of involvement in the global game today could become a problem for Farke.
Just as Meslier’s future will surely be questioned after this match, perhaps some more disappointing performances of Piroe, which has now experienced five goalless games, will also raise similar questions.
Two have two underperformative key people at each end of the height are really worrying, with very real in danger to miss automatic promotion again.
