Just champion! Council leader hails Leeds United's title winners

United made sure of top spot in dramatic fashion today with a last-gasp 2-1 victory at Plymouth Argyle in their final game of the season.

Councillor James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, said:

“I’m absolutely delighted to be sending, for the second time in the space of a couple of weeks, congratulations to Leeds United from everyone at the council.

“Winning promotion back to the Premier League was a fantastic achievement in itself, and to follow that up by securing the Championship title has provided a fitting end to a season that will live long in the memory.

“Leeds, as invariably seems to be the case, didn’t do it the easy way today, but to score such a vital goal so late on shows the spirit of determination and togetherness that Daniel Farke has drilled into his team.

“Being crowned champions sets up both club and city perfectly for a really special celebration in the form of Monday’s open-top bus parade. Daniel and the players have done us proud this season, now let’s return the compliment and give them a reception they’ll never forget.”
