'Build the statue now' - Leeds United fans revel in Victor Orta and Mateusz Klich's title celebrations at Derby

Leeds United fans are loving life at the moment thanks to a Championship winning season which will see them playing Premier League football this autumn.

A 1-0 win over Barnsley on Thursday put the club on the brink before West Brom and Brentford lost to Huddersfield Town and Stoke City respectively.

These results handed Leeds promotion and then the Championship title before they even had to play again.

Now Leeds have gone even further in their promotion celebrations by securing a 3-1 victory at Derby County this afternoon.

And supporters were on a cloud nine of laughter following the win thanks to the antics of Victor Orta and Mateusz Klich.

The Rams, of course, were the team which were embroiled in the infamous Spygate with Leeds last season and also defeated the Whites in the Championship play-offs last term.

Leeds' director of football Orta was seen using binoculars to celebrate in the stands at Pride Park this afternoon, while Klich celebrated in the empty stands clapping his team-mates as they went on a lap of honour around the stadium.

It's safe to say Leeds' fans loved it.

Leeds now have one match left in the 2019/20 Championship season on Wednesday at home to Charlton.

The Whites lead the way at the top of the second tier with 90 points and already have promotion and the title secured.

West Brom (82 points), Brentford (81) and Fulham (80) will all battle it out for the second automatic promotion spot on the final day of the regular season.
