When football fans talk about unforgettable nights, Leeds United supporters now have one to top the list.
After a wild Monday filled with goals, rival defeats, and a bit of cheeky banter, Leeds officially booked their ticket back to the Premier League—and they didn’t hold back in celebrating the moment.
A Dramatic Twist Seals Leeds’ Return to the Top
The moment Leeds fans had been dreaming of finally arrived thanks to a dramatic combination of results.
While Leeds themselves crushed Stoke City 6-0, it was Sheffield United’s 2-1 loss to Burnley that mathematically sealed the deal.
That defeat left the Blades too far behind to catch up with just two matches remaining.
To make it sweeter, Burnley’s victory also guaranteed their own promotion, leaving Sheffield United to battle it out in the play-offs if they still hope to make it to the Premier League.
Bamford Adds Some Spice to the Celebrations
As the champagne flowed and fans belted out their favourite anthems, one moment stood out—Patrick Bamford leading a chant that took aim at Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder.
Surrounded by jubilant supporters, Bamford cued up the crowd with a quiet “du, du du…” before fans erupted with the not-so-subtle chant, “Wilder is a w****r!” He couldn’t help but crack a grin as he mouthed along with the lyrics.
A Rivalry Rooted in Recent History
The animosity between the two Yorkshire clubs isn’t new. Back in the 2018-19 season, the roles were reversed.
Sheffield United won automatic promotion while Leeds missed out, and Wilder didn’t hold back his thoughts at the time.
He mocked Leeds players, calling them “muppets” for trying to pile on the pressure, and claimed his side had the “bottle” to handle the promotion race.
He also took a jab at Bamford and Adam Forshaw specifically, saying, “They got beat seven times since Christmas.
We’ve been beaten once.” Needless to say, Leeds fans haven’t forgotten—and Bamford’s chant proved it.
Leeds Now Eye the Championship Title
With promotion secured, the next goal is clear: finish on top.
Leeds still have two games left, starting with Bristol City at home before they travel to Plymouth Argyle on May 3.
Burnley will be watching closely, as they face QPR and then host Millwall, hoping to grab the top spot themselves.
There’s more than just pride at stake—whichever club finishes first takes home the silverware.
Celebration Mode Still Going Strong
The party didn’t end on the pitch. The day after their promotion, several Leeds players were spotted unwinding at a local bar in Wetherby.
Dan James, Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, and Joe Rothwell were seen chilling at Bar Three, sipping on soft drinks and soaking in the success.
The venue even posted about the visit on social media, captioning a picture with: “Promotion party vibes still going strong… Few familiar faces spotted at Bar Three today. Leeds are back!”
One Chapter Ends, Another Begins
For Leeds United, this season has been one of resilience, dominance, and redemption.
As the celebrations continue, fans will be dreaming of a stronger return to the Premier League—this time, hopefully to stay.
And as for Chris Wilder and the Blades… well, there may be more battles to come in seasons ahead.
The Yorkshire rivalry is far from over.
