Leeds 3-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Farke's side return to Championship summit after Yorkshire derby win

Leeds United moved back to the top of the Championship with a 3-0 victory over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

The home side made an ideal start at Elland Road, going in front when Manor Solomon hammered home just three minutes in after Owls goalkeeper James Beadle failed to intercept a raking pass from Brenden Aaronson.

Wednesday threatened at times, going closest to an equaliser with a 20-yard attempt from Djeidi Gassama, which goalkeeper Ivan Meslier had to push around the post.

The match was settled two minutes from time as substitute Largie Ramzani finished from close range after his initial shot was blocked.

And the hosts added further gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time, when Ramzani's shot was flicked in by Ao Tanka.

Leeds, who remain unbeaten at Elland Road since September, sit one point above second-place Sheffield United, whose city rivals Wednesday stay 10th and four points adrift of the top six.
