Leeds United are ‘going home’, according to Salim Lamrani.
Pablo Hernandez scored a last-minute winner at Swansea City today as United moved six points clear in the automatic promotion places with only three matches to go.
In other words, Leeds, who need four points from the last nine on offer, are on the brink of sealing an emotional return to the Premier League.
The Elland Road club hasn’t graced the top flight since way back in 2004, but Hernandez’s goal, combined with the genius of Marcelo Bielsa, means that looks set to change.
Lamrani was constantly with Bielsa during his first season in West Yorkshire last term, working as his translator.
And here’s how he reacted on Twitter to what is a massive, massive win.
Best case scenario, Bielsa could secure promotion for Leeds by Thursday if they beat Barnsley at Elland Road and Brentford drop points at home to Preston on the Wednesday, which seems possible.
Some fans might want to get it done at Derby County in the following game, given the dramatics of what went on last season, but most supporters will want it wrapped up as soon as possible.
