Crisis, what crisis? Leeds boss Daniel Farke had given his full backing to goalkeeper Illan Meslier after he came under criticism for his mistakes in the 3-3 draw at Hull City in the Championship a fortnight ago.

Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Strikes either side of half-time from Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka helped the Whites claim their first Championship win of 2025. The three points lifted the Whites back to the top of the Championship, three points clear of third-placed Burnley.

Despite the result Sheffield Wednesday fans were probably pleased to have some actual football to focus on after a week where comments from chairman Dejphon Chansiri put an unwanted spotlight on the club and the future of boss Danny Rohl.
