The atmosphere at Elland Road was electric on Monday night, as Leeds United took one step closer to winning the league title. The fans missed out on celebrations when promotion was sealed last week, and they decided to let their voices be heard.
Leeds once again were aggressive in the first half, taking the lead after 21 minutes after Manor Solomon set up Ao Tanaka for the first goal. Wilfried Gnonto doubled the Whites lead after great work from Joel Piroe, and Largie Ramazani came off the bench to bag a brace that sealed the win.
After the game, the party started as the players and staff got to truly celebrate Premier League promotion. It was a night full of smiles and positive energy after a tough win.

After the celebrations, Daniel Farke said he was pleased with the victory. One curious thing he mentioned during the press conference was that the game was not a send off for some players in the team.
”It was not a goodbye (for those players) tonight. Important to involve players who played players who played a big part this season.” he said.
But in the aftermath of the game, it has been revealed that one player might have played his last game for the club. According to Beren Cross, Josuha Guilavogui has ”almost certainly” played his last game at Elland Road. The 34-year old was brought in as a free transfer in October during an injury crisis.

Josuha Guilavogui has won the hearts of the players
Despite not playing much during his time in West Yorkshire, the midfielder has been a positive influence in the dressing room. Willy Gnonto and Isaac Schimdt are said to be very close to the veteran. He is not someone who will get minutes even if Leeds do renew his deal, but the club need to look into bringing another player of his experience soon. That kind of influence in the dressing room gives a huge boost to the young players.
