Leeds United moved themselves back to the top of the Championship with a hugely impressive victory.

James Milner has taken to Twitter to comment on Leeds’ win over Norwich at the weekend, and the Liverpool ace could not resist a light-hearted dig at the Whites’ opponents.

While Leeds went into the game looking to return to the top of the Championship following Middlesbrough’s win on Friday night, much of the talk leading up to the fixture surrounded the fact that Norwich have painted the away dressing room at Carrow Road pink in an attempt to lower opposition teams’ testosterone levels.

Unfortunately for the Canaries – who did beat Preston North End at home in midweek – they are now having to put up with plenty of ridicule as Leeds’ afternoon could have hardly gone much better.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side were 2-0 up inside half an hour as Mateusz Klich continued his stunning form since his return from his loan spell in The Netherlands in the second-half of last season, while Gjanni Alioski finished superbly from a tight angle.

Pablo Hernandez would brilliantly make the scoreline 3-0 in the second-half to ensure that Leeds secured the three points despite the pink dressing room.

And in the wake of the victory, Milner took to social media to celebrate his old side’s win – their fourth in the league since Bielsa arrived in the summer – and comment on the bizarre dressing room saga.
