Leeds United Extends Lead with Dominant Victory Over Watford
Leeds United continued their impressive form in the Championship with a dominant performance against Watford at Vicarage Road, securing a convincing victory thanks to a brace from Daniel James. The match, which took place on Tuesday evening, saw Leeds extend their lead at the top of the table, further solidifying their position as promotion contenders.
The visitors took control early in the game, with James capitalising on a defensive error by Watford’s Kayembe to open the scoring. The Welsh winger intercepted a misplaced pass, raced through on goal, and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper. Leeds doubled their lead shortly after, as James struck again following a well-executed team move. Brenden Aaronson and Joel Piroe combined to set up James, who finished emphatically to put the Whites in command.
Watford struggled to contain Leeds’ attacking prowess, with Piroe and Manor Solomon also coming close to adding to the scoreline. The hosts had a few opportunities of their own, including a shot from Louza that forced a save from Illan Meslier, but they were unable to mount a serious comeback. Leeds’ defensive solidity and quick transitions proved too much for Watford, who remain mid-table in the Championship standings.
The result leaves Leeds five points clear at the top of the table, with their unbeaten league run now stretching back to November. Watford, meanwhile, will need to regroup as they aim to close the gap to the play-off places. The two sides had previously met earlier in the season, with Leeds also emerging victorious in a 2-1 win at Elland Road.
