TANAKA TOUCH HAS FARKE ON TOP OF THE LOT

LEEDS surged back to the top of the table after seeing off a stubborn Millwall 2-0 at Elland Road.

- 

Tuesday night’s home stumbles by promotion rivals Sheffield United and Burnley offered Daniel Farke’s side the chance to reassert themselves in the race to reach the Premier League.

And the home side took it thanks to a late strike from Ao Tanaka after an early own goal from Millwall’s Jake Cooper.

Farke's side were gifted the perfect start in the third minute.

Joe Rothwell won possession for Leeds in midfield and, after a slick interchange down the left with Joel Piroe, drove into the visitors’ penalty area.
