Dramatic plot twist for Leeds United’s key Championship promotion rivals with …….
With a scheduling change now on the menu, Leeds United’s main promotion opponents, Southampton, have further extended an incredible run following a thrilling climax.
As the game approached full time, Russell Martin’s Championship team appeared to be ending their club record 21-game undefeated streak due to an early Matheus Martins goal. The team will play Watford in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
However, Southampton made sure that their amazing run was continued as Stuart Armstrong equalized in the 89th minute to secure a 1-1 draw. Due to the draw, Southampton will now have to deal with an extra match in the form of a fourth-round replay, which is scheduled for midweek during the first full week of February.
Leeds United has been drawn to play in the FA Cup’s fifth round at either Villa Park or Stamford Bridge, providing they win the fourth-round rematch against Plymouth Argyle the following month.
Adam Randell’s equalizer on Saturday at Elland Road canceled out Jaidon Antony’s opening goal, leaving the Whites with a 1-1 draw against the Pilgrims. This means that on February 17, the two teams will play again at Home Park before returning for the Championship match there.
