Leeds United ended their first season back in the Premier League with a 3-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion.
The Whites took the lead through Rodrigo as he headed home Raphinha’s corner, before Kalvin Phillips rifled home a long-range free kick for number two.
Patrick Bamford made it 3-0 from the spot, with Hal Robson-Kanu’s late goal little more than a consolation.
Leeds finished the season in the top half of the table, coming ninth after winning four games on the spin.
That’s a great first season back in the top flight, and the attention will soon focus to the transfer window and bolstering Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.
There will be financial input from 49ers Enterprises, who own 37% of Leeds and have been steadily increasing their investment.
That means strong ties to the organisation behind NFL powerhouse franchise San Francisco 49ers, who made the Super Bowl in 2020.
On Sunday, 49ers CEO and millionaire Jed York posted a photo on Twitter of himself sat at Elland Road alongside Andrea Radrizzani.
York had to quarantine for five days in order to attend the game, but he claims it was ‘worth it’ as he and Radrizzani no doubt talked about plans for the summer and beyond.
