Leeds United Hammer Norwich City to Reach Championship Play-Off Final
A Dominant Victory Secures Dramatic Wembley Appearance
In a pulsating second leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals, Leeds United demolished Norwich City 4-0, securing a commanding 4-0 aggregate victory. After a goalless draw in the first leg, Leeds unleashed a whirlwind of goals at Elland Road, leaving Norwich with no chance of a comeback.
The Whites dominated from the outset, controlling possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities. With Pascal Struijk and Patrick Bamford absent due to injuries, Leeds' resolve and attacking prowess shone through.
A Barnstorming Performance
Leeds took the lead in the 13th minute through Rodrigo Moreno's close-range finish. Jack Harrison doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time, capitalizing on Norwich's defensive lapse. In the second half, Luke Ayling added a third with a powerful header, and Jamie Shackleton sealed the emphatic victory with a fine solo goal in the dying minutes.
Norwich, despite their impressive form throughout the season, were overwhelmed by Leeds' relentless intensity and quality. Daniel Farke's side struggled to create clear-cut chances and were ruthlessly punished by Marcelo Bielsa's charges.
Leeds United's victory sends them to Wembley Stadium for the Championship play-off final on May 29th. They will face either Brentford or Bournemouth for a chance to secure promotion to the Premier League.
