Leeds United players gathered at Elland Road to celebrate their promotion to the Premier League on Friday night.

Video posted on social media shows the players breaking into wild scenes as the full-time whistle blew in the match between Huddersfield and West Brom, with Huddersfield's late winner courtesy of Emile Smith Rowe sealing Leeds' triumph.

Leeds have been away from the Premier League for 16 years, dropping down to League One and the returning to the Championship before years of near misses in their search to reach the top tier again.

The arrival of the renowned Argentinian coach Marcelo Bielsa in 2018 signalled serious intent to finish the job, and his team finally have finally completed their goal.

Fans also gathered outside the stadium, despite warnings not to do so due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, to serenade the team.

And on Saturday morning the players were at the training ground to cheer Bielsa's arrival.

Leeds play Derby County on Sunday in their penultimate Championship game.
