Leeds United have moved a step closer to an instant Premier League return by advancing to next weekend's Championship play-off final after thrashing Norwich City 4-0 at Elland Road

They smashed Norwich in front of an electric Elland Road to return to top form and book their place in the Championship play-off Final on Sunday week.

Leeds are back at Wembley for the first time since they lost the 2008 League One play-off Final to Doncaster and they have not won at the home of football since Eric Cantona scored a hat-trick in their 1992 Charity Shield victory over Liverpool.Norwich, under David Wagner who won the 2017 Championship play-offs with Huddersfield, had no answer to Leeds.

Elland Road turned up the volume like only they can and the ear-splitting noise lifted the Leeds players. Elland Road was rocking and on 20 minutes Leeds made it 2-0 when Wilfried Gnonto crossed from the right to the far post where Joel Piroe headed home his 14th goal for the club.
