Leeds revived their chances of automatic promotion to the Premier League as Crysencio Summerville scored twice in a 4-3 win at Middlesbrough on Monday. Daniel Farke's men had failed to win in their three previous Championship matches to put at risk an immediate return to the English top-flight. Victory takes Leeds into second, one point ahead of Ipswich, with only the top two automatically promoted. However, third-placed Ipswich have three games remaining to Leeds' two. Defeat mathematically ended Boro's hopes of going up via the playoffs.
Leeds poor run looked like it could continue when Isaiah Jones took advantage of hesitant defending to put the home side in front after just seven minutes.
But the visitors turned the match around in an explosive first half.
Summerville converted the equaliser from the penalty spot before Patrick Bamford silenced the Middlesbrough boos on his return to the Riverside.
Emmanuel Latte Lath's fierce strike from outside the box brought Middlesbrough level once more.
