Watch Neil Warnock’s incredible announcement video as EFL legend lands new job after leaving Aberdeen
Daniel Farke’s men finally pulled out an A game when it mattered by blowing away an utterly abysmal Norwich to book a place in next Sunday’s £200million final.Having only won once in their previous seven games, it was expected to be a nervy night under the lights in West Yorkshire — given the club are bidding to finally win a promotion via the play-offs at the sixth attempt.
But this was all but won after a first-half rampage which saw Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter put them into a 3-0 lead. Norwich had history against them as only 15 of the previous 18 sixth-placed sides progressed in the play-off semi-final. Leeds came out flying and Summerville played a superb one-two with Georginio Rutter just inside the box — but fired an angled effort over the bar.But that was ripped up when Leeds moved into an eighth-minute lead. Winning a free-kick 35 yards out, Ilia Griev curled a low free-kick which bounced and beat the unsighted Gunn.
