Alan Shearer on Leeds United fans
Shearer said on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One: “It was a cracking atmosphere there. The fans have definitely stuck with them. It’s only Man City who have scored more goals than Leeds in the 90th minute.”
Relegation worries
Leeds are in massive trouble, and there is a very good chance that they will get relegated from the Premier League.
The Whites are 17th in the league table at the moment with 35 points from 37 matches.
Burnley are third from bottom with 34 points, but they have played 36 games.
Everton have also played 36 matches, and Frank Lampard’s team have picked up 36 games.
Leeds have to rely on Everton and Burnley’s results to stay up.
