Leeds 1-0 Brighton Reaction: Calvert-Lewin Hero, Farke's Future & West Ham Preview

We discuss Elland Road for the final home game of the season, and what a way to sign off - a 95th-minute winner from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to beat Brighton 1-0 and extend Leeds United's unbeaten Premier League run to eight matches, the longest top-flight unbeaten streak since 2001. In this episode we unpack a remarkable afternoon at Elland Road: the carnival atmosphere, the defensive masterclass from Bijol, Rodon and Sebastiaan Bornauw, Karl Darlow's case for cult hero status, and Calvert-Lewin's instinctive pounce on Jan Paul van Hecke's error to ignite the stadium. Going into the final day, only five teams have lost fewer Premier League matches than Leeds this season - Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Eleven sides below us have lost more. Time to reframe what this season actually was. We get into Daniel Farke's extraordinary pre-match press conference where the German declared his "mission fulfilled" and "job done" - and why those headlines aren't what they look like. Plus the Wilfried Gnonto to Freiburg story, whether Leeds have actually let him down (spoiler: no), and Darragh floats a smart loan-without-obligation idea that could suit everybody. Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and the players who've built this thing from the ground up. Brendan Aaronson's development. The Sean Longstaff debate that won't die. Dominic Calvert-Lewin's England chances heading into the World Cup. David O'Leary's frustrating Overlap interview. And the disgusting Luke Ayling incident at Southampton. Then we look ahead to the final day at the London Stadium where West Ham could already be relegated by the time Leeds kick off. Up the Whites. 🎧 All our links: https://linktr.ee/leedsthat 🌐 Website: https://leedsthat.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/leedsthatpod 🐦 X / Twitter: https://x.com/leedsthatpod 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@leedsthatpod 🔭 Sponsor: Bass & Bligh - the finest optics in all the land https://bassandbligh.com 🎙️ Rocco's Isaac Johnson interview with Leeds Live - go back and listen, it's a timeless piece. 02:00 Only 5 teams have lost fewer than Leeds this season 05:00 Dan James at wingback + the defensive masterclass 09:30 Bornauw - signing of the season 13:30 Karl Darlow - cult hero? 15:00 Gnonto to Freiburg + Darragh's loan idea 21:00 Joe Rodon, Ampadu and the players building this 29:15 Reliving the Calvert-Lewin winner 32:15 The records - latest PL winner since 2001 34:00 Farke's "job done" press conference 41:30 West Ham preview + sending Spurs down 43:30 The Luke Ayling Southampton incident #LUFC #LeedsUnited #LeedsThat #MOT #MarchingOnTogether #LeedsUnitedPodcast #ALAW #PremierLeague #LeedsBrighton #LEEBHA #CalvertLewin #DanielFarke #Gnonto #KarlDarlow #JoeRodon #EthanAmpadu #Bornauw #BrendanAaronson #SeanLongstaff #DanJames #EllandRoad #WestHamLeeds #WHULEE #BassAndBligh Learn more about your ad choices.
