Solomon’s Stoppage-Timer Seals Promotion Back to Premier League

In a thrilling finale to the Championship season, Leeds United secured the title with a 2-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday. Manor Solomon’s stoppage-time winner sparked wild celebrations among the traveling Leeds fans, who had been anxiously waiting for the final whistle.

The visitors, who had topped the table going into the final day, were repeatedly frustrated by a dogged Plymouth side until early in the second half when Willy Gnonto fired in Solomon’s cross to equalize. However, it was Solomon who stole the show with his late goal, firing low into the bottom corner to send the packed away end into raptures.

The win marked a dramatic conclusion to a rollercoaster season for Leeds, who had secured promotion back to the Premier League last month after two seasons away. With Burnley beating Millwall 3-1, Leeds took the title on goal difference, capping off a remarkable turnaround under head coach Daniel Farke.

“We’re absolutely delighted to have won the title,” Farke said in a post-match interview. “The players have worked tirelessly all season, and to see them rewarded with this trophy is a testament to their dedication and hard work.”

For Plymouth, who were relegated last week, the performance was a proud one, with manager Miron Muslic hailing the team’s spirit and character.

“We faced the best team in the competition, and we gave it everything we had,” Muslic said. “We’re proud of the way the lads performed, and we’re grateful to our fans for their support throughout the season.”

As for Solomon, the loanee from Tottenham, the goal was a dream come true. “I’m still in shock,” he said in an interview with BBC Radio Leeds. “To score the winning goal and take the championship is an incredible feeling. I’m just glad it happened.”

The victory marked a special moment for the Leeds United players and staff, who were overcome with emotion as they celebrated the title. As for what’s next, only time will tell, but for now, it’s time to bask in the glory of a job well done.
