Leeds United are on the verge of securing their place in the Premier League next season as three points against Swansea City earlier this afternoon has bolstered their chances of ending a 16-year absence from the English top-flight.
The Whites have moved three clear at the top of the Championship and some six points adrift of the playoff zone, meaning four points from their remaining three matches should complete the job.
Marcelo Bielsa can thank his super-sub Pablo Hernandez for once again changing the match in their favour. This time he proved to be the goalscorer, finding the net in the last minute of regular time.
MOTM vs Swansea?
Liam Cooper
Pablo Hernandez
Luke Ayling
Illan Meslier
Luke Ayling was set free by Helder Costa and found the 35-year-old wizard near the penalty spot before he drove it past the home goalkeeper as it went in off the post.
However, despite the victory, much of the Elland Road faithful who were watching from home were left fuming by the performance from winger Jack Harrison as he struggled to make his mark in Wales.
Per SofaScore, the 23-year-old failed to record an accurate cross from two attempts, lost a total of nine duels as well as losing possession 18 times – it wasn’t a good afternoon for the Man City loanee.
Some blasted him for being “missing” and “anonymous” whilst others believed he did “absolutely” nothing to impact the game.
Here’s the rest of the reaction…
Thanks god Harrison is off. He’s about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Cannot understand how a burst of Poveda can be any worse than what Harrison has served up today. He’s been so poor.
