Leeds assistant thrilled with win over Norwich.

Leeds United assistant Pep Clotet says his side earned the greatest prize in football after beating Norwich City on penalties.

Commenting on Twitter, Garry Monk’s right-hand man describes the rapturous ovation from the crowd as a stunning feeling that he felt privileged to be a part of.

Leeds had dug in to beat Norwich City on penalties after drawing 2-2 after 120 minutes.

They had seemed to be heading out after going 2-1 down early in the extra time, and having to play the last 30 minutes with 10 men after using all their substitutes prior to Lewie Coyle suffering an injury.
