Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has thanked the club's fans for their support in a 'painful' season after Premier League survival was achieved at the 11th hour. The Whites went into the final day in the bottom three, but their late 2-1 win over Brentford, coupled with Burnley's 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United meant the it was the Clarets who dropped into the Championship.
Jack Harrison's stoppage-time winner sparked wild scenes in the Brentford away end and once they calmed down, Radrizzani issued a message to the Leeds fans, who have stood by their side throughout a testing campaign.
"We are naturally delighted to see the 2021/22 season come to a conclusion with Leeds United remaining in the Premier League," he wrote. This has been a painful season for everyone, from the board to the fans in the stands, the changing room to the ticket office, it has been a battle.
