Leeds United great Luciano Becchio and Eddie Nketiah were among their former players to celebrate their victory over Barnsley on social media last night.
Leeds ran out 1-0 winners over the Tykes at Elland Road, in what was a hugely testing encounter.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side were nowhere near their best, but somehow managed to get over the line – with Leeds now just one point away from promotion.
The victory meant a great deal around Elland Road, and Becchio and Nketiah both sent simple messages on Twitter.
Leeds should feel confident of coming up against Arsenal striker Nketiah in the Premier League next term now.
Bielsa’s men are next in action against Derby County on Sunday, and as long as they avoid defeat, they will make a return to the top flight for the first time since 2004.
Leeds looked as if they were a side under pressure last night, but they still managed to get over the line and claim the three points.
And with only two games left to play, they will surely be able to avoid defeat once more, to finally end Leeds supporters wait for Premier League football.
