On January 23 at 3:45, the 28th round of the English Championship saw second-placed Leeds United host twelfth-placed Norwich. Leeds United achieved a significant victory in their derby match, improving their defensive performance. They defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at home last week, with Daniel Farke's team securing a Yorkshire derby win and ending a two-game draw streak. Leeds United has won ten out of their last eleven home matches in the English Championship, making them the team with the best home record this season. Compared to the substitute lineup in the FA Cup, Leeds United fielded their strongest squad last week, with Solomon scoring the first goal three minutes into the game through a rebound. Despite dominating Sheffield Wednesday, they were unable to score further goals. In the 83rd minute, head coach Daniel Farke replaced goal-scoring Solomon with Ramazani, and the Belgian forward scored five minutes after coming on. In stoppage time, Ramazani's shot was inadvertently knocked into the net by Tanaka Bi with his heel, securing a resounding victory for Leeds United with goals from three players who joined the team this season.
