Manor Solomon gets Leeds off to flyer as they beat Norwich to return to top spot.

Manor Solomon fired the quickest goal in the Championship this season as Leeds beat Norwich 2-0 at Elland Road to regain top spot.

The Tottenham loanee struck after just 31 seconds against the injury-hit Canaries and Dan James’ second-half effort sealed Leeds’ 12th home league win of the season.

Daniel Farke is unbeaten now in six games as Leeds boss against his former club, while his side extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 matches to move one point above overnight leaders Sheffield United.

Solomon struck a third-minute opener in Sunday’s home win against derby rivals Sheffield Wednesday and gave Leeds an even earlier lead against Norwich.

Brenden Aaronson combined neatly with Jayden Bogle on the right touchline.

Before sending James scampering clear and Solomon despatched the Wales winger’s fine low cross into the roof of the net.

Credit to depleted Norwich, who did well to เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย deny Leeds further chances until the 19th minute when Shane Duffy’s excellent tackle thwarted Joel Piroe inside the box.

Canaries boss Johannes Thorup has had only 15 senior players available to face the Championship’s top two in the space of four days – they lost 2-0 at Bramall Lane on Saturday – and has been forced to supplement his squad with academy players.

But after their early setback, Norwich posed a few problems of their own. Kellen Fisher volleyed over and Jack Stacey’s dangerous cross just eluded Lewis Dobbin at the far post.
