Leeds’ promotion party continued into Tuesday after Daniel Farke’s side secured a return to the Premier League after two years on Monday.

The Whites were on the brink of returning to the top flight following their match at Elland Road earlier on in the day, with the league leaders thrashing Stoke 6-0 just hours before Burnley’s test against Sheffield United at Turf Moor.

It meant the Whites only needed United to avoid victory in the evening game, and Chris Wilder’s side did just that to end their hopes of finishing inside the Championship’s automatic promotion places.

There were chaotic scenes outside Elland Road on Monday night, as thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium to celebrate their promotion, before being joined by the players.

And, after partying deep into the night, the celebrations continued into the following day, with players spotted enjoying some time out at a bar in Wetherby – Bar Three – 24 hours on.

A social media post from the bar showed a group of stars, including Dan James, Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon and Joe Rothwell sat at a table inside the venue, all seemingly enjoying soft drinks.

The post was captioned: ‘Promotion party vibes still going strong… Few familiar faces spotted at Bar Three today. Leeds are back!’

Leeds, who were once an established part of the Premier League during the division’s formative years, were forced to endure two years away from the top flight on this occasion. Last season, their promotion hopes were dashed by defeat in the play-off final against Southampton, leading to doubts surrounding Farke’s future.

But they have not tripped up this time around, securing promotion with two games to spare, and they can now prepare for life in the top flight once again.

Joel Piroe scored four goals in the first half against Stoke, putting on an exhibition for the packed out crowd who were never going to stop the West Yorkshire rain from putting a dampener on their big day.

Their team weren’t either. By half-time, they were five goals up, with four courtesy of Piroe, who scored the quickest hat-trick in Leeds’ history. It ended six-nil but in reality, it could have been even more.

With 89 goals in 44 Championship games, they are the entertainers and now join Marcelo Bielsa’s side of 2019-20 as just the second Leeds team to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Pre-match, Farke had called on everyone from the stewards to the groundsmen to be in full voice as Leeds had ‘the chance to create something really special’ and achieve promotion to the Premier League for the first time with supporters – when they went up in 2020, it was during the pandemic.

Post-match, he said he wanted ‘beer after beer’ and didn’t want to think about football – seemingly giving his players Tuesday off to recover.

The Whites will now turn their attention to trying to win the Championship. They are ahead of closest rivals Burnley on goal difference, which will almost certainly go in their favour should they finish on the same amount of points.

They will face Bristol City at Elland Road on Monday night in their next match, before finishing their season away to Plymouth Argyle the following week.

Burnley, meanwhile, travel to QPR on Monday before hosting Millwall the following week.
