Leeds United have ended their 16-year wait for Premier League football after West Brom were beaten by Huddersfield on Friday night. Marcelo Bielsa’s side who missed promotion last season remained determined to avoid slipping up and have returned to the top flight English division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their long time away from the Premier League Leeds were relegated to League One in a very difficult period for the club. This promotion comes at a time the club has grown in footballing identity or style under their Argentine boss. The team has had near misses in the past years with last year\u2019s heart break from losing to Frank Lampard\u2019s Derby in the Play-off semi-final the most painful some would argue. Despite the global pandemic (Covid-19) the Leeds supporters gathered outside Elland Road to celebrate the club’s long-awaited return to the Premier League. Reaction from Former Leeds Players <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson “It is a fantastic achievement from what Marcelo Bielsa inherited two-and-a-half years ago. A team that [then] finished 13th in the Championship to now automatic promotion to the Premier League. A one-club city.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
