Patrick Bamford's header from Dan James' cross secured Leeds United a 1-0 victory over Norwich City. The match lacked overall fluency and excitement, with Bamford's goal being the standout moment.
Despite Norwich having chances through Gabriel Sara, Kenny McLean, and Adam Idah, they couldn't find the equalizer.
Leeds, now fourth in the Championship, have won five consecutive matches in all competitions and sit two points behind second-placed Ipswich.
The victory extends Leeds' unbeaten home run to 15 games, their best since the 1970s. Both teams now shift focus to the FA Cup fourth round, with Leeds facing Plymouth, and Norwich taking on Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke expressed satisfaction with the win, highlighting the team's ability to handle different spells in the game. Norwich manager David Wagner acknowledged a sloppy defensive moment but praised his team's performance against a top side.
