Leeds United thumped Reading 3-0 on Tuesday night.
Leeds United moved top of the Championship on Tuesday night with a morale-boosting 3-0 win at Reading.
Goals from Mateusz Klich and Pablo Hernandez put Leeds into a commanding position midway through the first half.
Leeds playmaker Hernandez then grabbed his second and the Whites’ third shortly before the break to kill off the Royals’ hopes of any sort of comeback.
It was the first time that the 33-year-old has scored more than once in a game for the Elland Road.
And on-loan team-mate Hadi Sacko had a brilliant reaction to the brace on Twitter:
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be knocked off top spot by Norwich City if the Canaries win at home to Hull City tonight.
It’s looking like a three-horse race for the top two automatic promotion spots.
Only two points separate top-of-the-table Leeds and third-placed Sheffield United, who have a 10-point cushion from West Brom in fourth.
