Premier League: Leeds Close To Return After Struijk's Late Double
Leeds took a huge step towards a return to the Premier League after Pascal Struijks dramatic 95th minute winner defeated Championship promotion rivals Sunderland 2-1 at Elland Road on Monday.
Dutch defender Struijk was the unlikely hero with both Leeds goals despite only playing the final 20 minutes as a substitute.
Wilson Isidor had fired Sunderland in front with his 12th goal of the season before half-time.
But the Black Cats chances of automatic promotion are beginning to fade as Leeds and Sheffield United pull away at the top of the table.
Struijk began the fightback when he headed in fellow substitute Joe Rothwells enticing free-kick on 78 minutes.
