Despite being 14 points behind Sheffield United, who currently occupy the second automatic promotion place, Leeds still want to keep the pressure on them as much as possible. A win against Queens Park Rangers was vital if Leeds were going to have any chance of catching Sheffield. Cresswell put Leeds in front after 39 minutes, when the QPR goalkeeper failed to collect the ball from a cross, allowing him to loop his header into an empty net; his seventh for Leeds this season. The points were sealed six minutes from time, when Butler doubled Leeds advantage with a stunning diving header, giving the keeper no chance. The final score, Leeds United-2 QPR- 0.
