A fight to the finish: Leeds and Burnley battle for Championship supremacy'

Leeds players lift the Championship title

Leeds United won the Championship title on Saturday after Manor Solomon's last-gasp winner at Plymouth Argyle, matching Burnley's win over Millwall. The title race was the closest in Football League's 137-year history, with Leeds' superior goal difference proving decisive. Burnley, who reached 100 points, had a remarkable season with 30 clean sheets, 16 goals conceded, and only two losses in 33 games. Leeds were the league's top scorers with 95 goals. After the match, an emotional Solomon said, "I'm so glad it happened." Leeds boss Daniel Farke, who has led the club back to the Premier League, said, "It feels pretty, pretty special." Sheffield United, who led for long periods, will compete in the play-offs.
