Leeds Promoted To English Premier League
Leeds United supporters gather outside their Elland Road ground to celebrate the club’s return to the Premier league after a gap of 16 years, in Leeds, northern England on July 17, 2020. Paul ELLIS / AFPLeeds United were promoted to the Premier League on Friday after West Bromwich Albion’s 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield ensured the Championship leaders will end their 16-year exile from the top-flight.
Albion’s defeat means third placed Brentford will reach the top-flight for the first time in 73 years if they win their last two games. Midfielder Kalvin Phillips saluted Bielsa’s contribution, saying: “When the manager first came in I never thought I would be in this position two years down the line.“The Premier League is the best in the world and after 16 years we’re back in there.”
So it was fitting that Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla took to Twitter to celebrate, writing: “We are BACK! We are in the Premier League! Yessssssssssss!Liverpool midfielder James Milner, who started his career at Leeds, tweeted: “Congratulations LUFC. Back where you belong.”
