Leeds United blew the Championship title race wide open with a 4-0 hammering of fellow promotion chasers West Brom at Elland Road on Friday night.
The Whites got off to a flying start when 33-year-old Pablo Hernandez found the top corner from distance within 20 seconds of kick-off. A Patrick Bamford brace and a late Ezgjan Alioski tap in rounded off the scoring and secured an emphatic victory for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Not only was the win convincing, but it was also timely. Having slipped up against QPR in midweek, it was vital that Leeds got back on track quickly.
One player who didn’t get on the scoresheet but stood out nonetheless was Tyler Roberts. The 20-year-old produced a fine performance against his former club. The attacker was creative, disciplined and worked relentlessly hard before leaving the field to a standing ovation when he was substituted off with two assists to his name.
After the final whistle, many Leeds fans took to Twitter to congratulate Roberts on his fine display…
