Jack Harrison's 94th-minute winner meant that Leeds United secured their Premier League status for a third season. The Whites came into the day knowing that they could achieve survival if they bettered Burnley's result against Newcastle United on the final day and - after a few nervy early moments - the day panned out perfectly for Jesse Marsch's side.
There were the disappointments of Joe Gelhardt's goal being rule out for offside by VAR and Sergi Canos' goal for Brentford to make it 1-1 but due to Newcastle remaining in the lead at Turf Moor, Leeds were always in the driving seat to stay up. Now they can concentrate on building for their third season back in the top tier.
The good news about next season is that now the Whites' odds of remaining in the Premier League jumps up hugely, after beating the drop for two seasons. Leeds have done the tough job. They comfortably survived the first season, where 44% of the time a promoted side is relegated straight back to the Championship. They made their second season look much more like hard work but in staying up on the final day, they did what Sheffield United were unable to do last year, as well as 38% of the previous teams to survive their first season in the league.
