Daniel Farke believes Crysencio Summerville can keep improving after the forward scored twice in Leeds’ 4-1 Championship thrashing of Huddersfield at Elland Road.
The Dutchman also set up one of Dan James’ two goals as Leeds raced into a 4-0 lead during a dominant first-half display, but Farke said the 21-year-old must keep developing his game. “It is about consistency, so it’s a really good week in terms of end product but come on, keep going. It is necessary for a young player to develop so that he is getting goals and assists.”

Harry Winks’ late goal gave Leicester a 2-1 victory over 10-man QPR and maintained their five-point lead at the top of the table. After Stephy Mavididi opened the scoring, Andre Dozzell equalised shortly before the interval, but was sent off early in the second half. QPR, who have now lost six matches in succession and remain one off the bottom of the table, battled hard, but the Foxes eventually made their numerical advantage count with 10 minutes left. It was QPR’s sixth straight defeat in the league, resulting in the sacking of head coach Gareth Ainsworth.
High-flying Ipswich came from a goal down to stretch their unbeaten run to nine games with a 3-2 victory over Plymouth. Morgan Whittaker scored a stunning opener for the visitors after seven minutes but Town equalised with time running out in the first half through an own goal by the former Norwich full-back Bali Mumba, and George Hirst gave them the lead just after the break.
The Ipswich goalkeeper, Vaclav Hladky, came to the rescue as Argyle pressed during the closing stages, but Marcus Harness struck in the 86th minute to put the game beyond Argyle, despite a late reply from Joe Edwards.
