The Championship saved its chaos for the very end. Leeds United clinched the title with a last-gasp 2–1 win away at Plymouth Argyle, while the hosts' heartbreak was complete as the result confirmed their relegation.

Plymouth started brightly and got their reward when Mustapha Bundu opened the scoring in the 11th minute, his deflected shot wrong-footing Illan Meslier. It was a dream start for the Pilgrims, but Leeds piled on the pressure with wave after wave of attack.

The leveller came in the 72nd minute, courtesy of Wilfried Gnonto, who finished smartly after a slick attacking move. The tension built, with Leeds needing a winner to leapfrog Burnley on goal difference.

That moment came in the dying seconds: Manor Solomon stepped up in stoppage time, cutting inside before curling a stunning strike into the top corner—sending Leeds up as champions and Plymouth down in heartbreak.

It was a match loaded with stakes, emotion, and drama—everything you'd want from the final day.
