Leeds United Dominates Bristol City with 4-0 Victory

Posted on April 29, 2025

Leeds United delivered a commanding performance at Elland Road, thrashing Bristol City 4-0 in a Sky Bet Championship match that solidified their position at the top of the table. This emphatic victory came just days after Leeds had dismantled Stoke City 6-0, showcasing their attacking prowess and determination as they aim for the Championship title.

The match began with Leeds asserting their dominance, but it took until the 21st minute for them to capitalize on their territory when Ao Tanaka scored from a corner, converting a well-placed cross from Manor Solomon. Following this opening goal, Leeds continued to press, and despite a strong defensive effort from Bristol City, they were unable to maintain their composure under pressure.

In the second half, Leeds doubled their lead when Wilfried Gnonto found the net in the 55th minute, assisted by a brilliant cross-field pass from Joel Piroe. The home side wasn't finished there; Largie Ramazani, who had just come on as a substitute, scored less than a minute after entering the game, tapping in from Junior Firpo’s cross to make it 3-0. Ramazani celebrated exuberantly, performing a backflip in front of the ecstatic home fans.

As the match drew to a close, Ramazani scored again in stoppage time, running through a static Bristol City defense to complete the rout. Leeds' total of 23 shots exemplified their attacking intent, while Bristol City managed only one effort on target during injury time.

Leeds' manager, Daniel Farke, praised his team's mentality and resilience, highlighting the importance of their depth and the contributions from all players this season. Meanwhile, Bristol City's manager, Liam Manning, expressed disappointment with his team's performance, noting that they failed to execute their game plan effectively against a high-energy Leeds side. Despite the loss, Bristol City remains in contention for a playoff spot, with their fate still in their hands as they prepare for their final match against Preston.

With this victory, Leeds moved closer to securing the Championship title, requiring only a win against Plymouth Argyle in their next match to clinch the trophy, provided Burnley does not achieve a significant goal difference swing. The impressive display against Bristol City has set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the season for Leeds United.
