However, Manor Solomon struck in stoppage time to wrap up three points and more importantly, the title for Leeds.


Plymouth knew they were League One-bound pre-match, with a win and a 16-goal swing required for their safety.
The Pilgrims will be joined by Cardiff City and Luton Town in the third tier, with the latter having had their feat sealed with a 5-3 defeat at West Bromwich Albion.
