Leeds moved five points clear at the top of the Championship as they beat Coventry 2-0.
Joel Piroe and Jayden Bogle did the damage in the first half to secure the three points at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday night.
It means Leeds are now five points ahead of both Burnley and Sheffield United, albeit the latter have a game in hand this weekend when Daniel Farke’s side are in FA Cup action.
Coventry had the chance to make it five wins in a row and move level with sides in the play-off places, but instead Frank Lampard’s side remain 11th, three points off the top six.
Coventry errors smooth Leeds path to victory
Leeds cruised into a two-goal lead at half-time without barely having to break a sweat. The first came after Ellis Simms’ stray pass found its way right to Manor Solomon, who then teed up Piroe to slide his 13th of the season into the back of the net.
The second was helped by another error, however it came after fine work from Bogle. The right-back drove from deep into the Coventry box, before being gifted the ball back via Oliver Dovin’s spill, and he took the gift to finish.
Both sides had chances in the second half, but goalkeepers came out on top. At one end Dovin made some fine saves to deny Piroe, Solomon and Largie Ramazani.
While at the other Illan Meslier, who has had some critics this season, made two sensational saves. The first was particularly brilliant as he got down low to his left to deny Ellis Simms.
