Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? One could forgive the Leeds United supporters for pinching themselves. The Christmas number one may have eluded a group of fans who released Bielsa Rhapsody, an ode to their coach and a parody of Queen’s 1975 hit, but Kemar Roofe’s stoppage-time winner completed an extraordinary comeback from two goals down to clinch a sixth consecutive win and, more importantly, top spot in the Championship.
Roofe sealed victory five minutes into added time after Pontus Jansson powered home an equaliser following a fine mazy run and finish by the again impressive 18-year-old Jack Clarke, a half-time substitute. Things were rosy at the interval for Villa but sloppy defending meant fine goals by Tammy Abraham and Conor Hourihane were irrelevant at the final whistle.
