Leeds United’s long march is almost over. Aided by a vastly superior goal difference, Daniel Farke’s side may yet require a maximum of one more point to rubber-stamp promotion but, depending on the outcome in the evening kick-off at Turf Moor, could be back in the Premier League as soon as Easter Monday night.
Not even heavy rain and a marked dip in the Easter temperature could dampen the euphoria inside Elland Road as Joel Piroe registered a hat-trick in the first 20 minutes. By half-time Farke’s key striker had scored four times.
