Leeds United dominated in their 3-0 victory over Coventry City on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road, and Gary Lineker and Micah Richards addressed it on Monday.
Leeds secured their fourth Championship win of the season with goals from Wilfried Gnonto, Jayden Bogle, and Joel Piroe. They also kept their fifth clean sheet in six league games, surrendering only once.
This season, Daniel Farke’s technique of controlling games and limiting opponents’ chances has proven effective. Leeds have dominated matches without surrendering a goal.
Leeds United have risen to fifth place in England’s second division, with manager Farke aiming to return to the Premier League after a play-off final defeat.
Micah Richards and Gary Lineker discussed Leeds United’s 3-0 victory over Mark Robins’ team on the newest episode of The Rest Is Football. Richards has previously expressed his admiration for the club.

Leeds will play three games in six days, with the next coming on Tuesday night against Norwich City. Leeds then travel to Sunderland on Friday night away from home.
Leeds may be without Ethan Ampadu on Tuesday, but Richards was pleased with the team’s 3-0 triumph and fourth victory of the season, with Lineker emphasising the closeness of the game.
Richards told The Rest Is Football: “You’re not going to mention the mighty Leeds, are you?” 3-0 victory at home against Coventry.” Gary Lineker responded to Richards, noting how tight things are in England’s second tier.
“I don’t have to because you just mentioned it. The championship’s top tier is extremely competitive. “I believe six clubs are separated by about three points, but I suppose you would expect that,” Lineker remarked of Leeds.
Where do Leeds sit in the table and how far off the top?
Leeds improved to fifth place from sixth on Saturday. Currently, only seven points separate first and 12th place in the Championship table, with Leeds trailing leaders West Brom by two points.
