Photograph: Michael Regan/GettyDaniel Farke’s side, who staggered into the play-offs after winning just one of their last six games of the regular season, rediscovered top form to blow Norwich away with three goals in the first half.

Summerville crashed an early shot over the crossbar before Gruev gave them a seventh minute lead with a brilliant first Leeds goal in his 34th appearance for the club. Willy Gnonto charged down the right and his deep cross was headed home by the unmarked Piroe for his 16th goal of the season in all competitions.

Rutter was denied a second by Dimitrios Giannoulis’ goal line block in first-half stoppage time, with Norwich relieved to get off at the interval just three goals down.
