Leeds United fans will love what Luke Ayling did for Middlesbrough v Ipswich Town
Leeds United will be thrilled with Luke Ayling’s antics in the Middlesbrough v Ipswich Town Championship clash on 13 April.
The Whites failed to claim top spot as they lost 1-0 to Blackburn and will take some solace in the fact that Ipswich and Middlesbrough played out a 1-1 draw.
Ayling, who is on loan at Boro, was wasting time in the 93rd minute, ensuring play did not restart with Ipswich dominating proceedings and gunning for the win.
Ipswich took to Twitter to write: “90+3′. Luke Ayling is booked for time wasting. 1-1.”
Luke Ayling does his bit for Leeds United
Ayling’s time-wasting antics in the Middlesbrough v Ipswich Championship clash could significantly impact Leeds’ chances of getting promoted.
Ipswich, currently in first place with 89 points from 43 games, were on the attack late in the game against Middlesbrough, hoping to secure a winning goal that would extend their lead in the league.
However, Ayling’s actions in the 93rd minute, which led to him being booked for time wasting, disrupted Ipswich’s momentum and potentially prevented them from potentially scoring a decisive goal.
By denying Ipswich the opportunity to secure a win and two additional points, the draw means Ipswich’s lead over Leicester and Leeds remains narrow.
Leeds, currently third in the table with 87 points from 43 games, could benefit from this result by closing the gap on the top two teams and increasing their chances of earning promotion.
Luke Ayling will forever be loved by Leeds United fans
Ayling is a fan favourite at Elland Road due to his commitment, versatility and passion for the game.
His hardworking and fearless style of play resonates with fans, making him a beloved figure at the club.
If it does go down right to the wire after 46 games, there will be a decent chunk of Leeds fans that remember Ayling’s contribution to getting the club promoted.
