Fabrizio Romano reports that Daniel Farke will be highly pleased with Leeds United’s dominant performance against Norwich City. Leeds, putting their lackluster end-of-season form aside, secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Norwich on Thursday night. This triumph, following last week’s draw at Carrow Road, propelled United into the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
In his Daily Briefing page, Romano notes Farke’s satisfaction with Leeds’ commanding first-half display at Elland Road. The Whites surged ahead with three goals by halftime, courtesy of Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe, and Georginio Rutter. The second half saw Crysencio Summerville seal the 4-0 win, securing Leeds’ spot in the final.
Despite expectations of a tight contest, Leeds quickly established dominance. Gruev’s early free-kick and Piroe’s brave goal within minutes set the tone. A crucial save by Illan Meslier prevented Norwich from gaining momentum, while Rutter and Summerville solidified Leeds’ victory.
Farke would undoubtedly have been pleased with Leeds’ performance throughout the match, not just in the first half. Whether facing Southampton or West Brom in the Wembley final, Leeds is anticipated to be the favorites for promotion to the Premier League.
After a period of struggle, Leeds appears to have regained their form from earlier in the season, posing a formidable challenge for any opponent. Meanwhile, in other Leeds United news, Chris Sutton made a notable claim about a Whites player ahead of the Norwich match.
