Leeds score FIVE goals in first-half while Joel Piroe puts on historic masterclass to send fans wild as Premier League promotion nears

Elland Road was rocking on Easter Monday as four goals from Joel Piroe and another from Junior Firpo put Leeds on the brink of automatic promotion from the Championship. The former Swansea City striker also became the club's first player to score four goals in the first half of a competitive game.

@LeedsXtra_ tweeted: "PIROEOOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOE GET INNNNNNN YOU ARE MAGIC MY MAN MAGIC MAGIC YESS."

@Magic_Leeds commented: "It’s half time and my heart is doing ten to the dozen."

@markushankins put: ”Nanananananana Leeds are going up, going up, Leeds are going up.”

@RITGK added: "LEEDS, LEEDS, ARE FALLING APART AGAIN!"

If Sheffield United fail to beat Burnley later on Monday, Leeds' return to the Premier League will be secured. If the Whites failed to go up this season, that would be a hammer blow to the club's finances as they would be in the last year of their top-flight parachute payments in 2025-26, many of their best players would likely leave, and it would be even harder to get promoted next term. So an awful lot is riding on these set of results.

After this match, Leeds have their final home game of the season when they host play-off chasing Bristol City on April 28.
