Late Drama Sends Leeds Through
Leeds United have kept alive their hopes of reaching the Championship with an incredible last minute goal against Carlisle
Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Leeds scored a goal in each half - the second in the first minute of stoppage time - from Jonathan Howson to push Leeds into the final on Sunday week.
They will face the winners of Southend and Doncaster who meet again on Friday night.
Leeds were good value for their victory and deserved to win on the night with Carlisle's excellent home record this season counting for nothing as Leeds turned around what was an effective 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 victory.
For Carlisle another season in League One beckons.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
