Leeds United kept the best for last in their win over Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The Whites absolutely hammered Steve Bruce’s side 5-2 at Elland Road to move above the North-East outfit in the table, now sitting 13th.
It was 2-2 with only 25 minutes to go, but Leeds’ fitness levels showed and goals in the final quarter from Stuart Dallas, Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison inspired Marcelo Bielsa’s troops to a big win.
And it was that last goal from Harrison that really was the cherry on top.
Leeds broke at pace as Harrison galloped from the half-way line, before knocking the ball past a Newcastle player and unleashing a fine left-footed drive into the top corner, beyond a helpless Karl Darlow.
And here’s how Gary Lineker reacted to the goal on Twitter after the game:
This was the 24-year-old’s second goal of the Premier League season – his first being another cracker in the 4-3 defeat by Liverpool on the first day of the campaign.
Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, has come such a long way under Bielsa, given how inconsistent he was when he first arrived in West Yorkshire in 2018.
Last night’s goal would’ve caused Elland Road to erupt had fans been allowed to attend, and here’s how Noel Whelan also reacted to the win:
