Darren Moore’s men took apart the Whites in an exhilarating second-half display that saw Hal Robson-Kanu, Matt Phillips, Harvey Barnes and Dwight Gayle all get on the scoresheet in the space of 32 minutes.
It was a remarkable response from a West Brom side that had not won any of their previous four games in the Championship. That run included three defeats, with Derby leaving The Hawthorns having won by the same scoreline that Leeds lost by.
The only complaint that Moore may have is that they allowed Leeds to dash their hopes of keeping a clean sheet, with Pablo Hernandez scoring a late header for the visitors.
