LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Leeds United moved one step closer to ending a 16-year wait for a Premier League return after a 1-0 win over Barnsley in the second-tier Championship put them within a point of automatic promotion to the top flight.
Leeds, who missed out on promotion last year after finishing third and losing in the playoffs, are top with 87 points -- five points ahead of West Bromwich Albion and six in front of third-placed Brentford with two more rounds of fixtures left.
