London: Jack Harrison’s stoppage-time winner meant Leeds United ensured Premier League survival today with a 2-1 victory away at 10-man Brentford that saw Burnley go down instead.
A Raphinha penalty gave Leeds a second-half lead but they conceded a goal from Sergi Canos in the 78th minute before Harrison fired home four minutes into stoppage time to spark ecstatic celebrations.
