This Easter Sunday a very bad afternoon for Javi Gracia’s Leeds, who started by losing at Crystal Palace and ended up losing no less than 1-5 and at home, at Elland Road. A loud knock.
The afternoon started well for Leeds, who began to attack dangerously, creating chances, against the team led by Roy Hodgson and up front. by Patrick Bamford at 21′ thanks to a header from a corner delivered by Brenden Aaronson. Leeds had a very good first half.
But Crystal Palace had already warned those from Gracia when Jeffrey Schlupp crashed the ball against the post. And, with the discount of the first part, Marc Guéhi leveled the score taking advantage of a ball deflected by himself Schlupp. So began the comeback of Hodgson’s team.
The truth is Crystal Palace turned into a storm in the second half, before which Leeds could not and did not know how to fight. A celebration where Michael Olisse was the star with 3 assists: Jordan Ayew in 53′, Eberechi Eze in 55′ and Odsonne Edouard in 69′. Olisse is the third top assist in this Premier after Kevin de Bruyne and Bukayo Saka.
He sought the fifth the Crystal Palace and Jordan Ayew scored it, thus completing his double and in this case a soccer ball is taken advantage of Will Hughes. A great achievement for Palace, now 12th in the table, 5 points behind relegation, pure air for Roy Hodgsoon, who is now fulfilling the mission in which, at the age of 75, he returned to the team, to achieve permanence. Leeds are 16th, 2 in the said relegation zone.
