How Leeds United players have reacted to crucial Swansea City win

Leeds United took another massive step towards the Premier League on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.

Pablo Hernandez was the hero, striking in the 89th minute of the match to give the Whites the precious three points to take back to Elland Road.

The victory means Leeds are three points clear at the top of the table, and more importantly, six points clear from third-placed Brentford with just three games left to play.

Given Leeds’ superior goal difference, one more win could effectively be enough to seal a place back in the Premier League for Marcelo Bielsa’s men, 16-years after their last appearance in the division.

Henrandez’s goal sparked wild celebrations among players in the stadium, and no doubt among the fans watching at home too.

With the Whites now so close to a Premier League return, fans have been showing their excitement on social media.

But, they’re not the only ones, with the Leeds players also taking to Instagram and Twitter to give their reaction to yet another win.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

Leeds don’t have to wait too much longer to return to action, as they face Barnsley at Elland Road on Thursday afternoon.

By that time, Leeds will know if a win will mathematically seal them promotion, with Brentford in action on Wednesday evening against Preston, anything less than a win for the Bees would mean that three points for the Whites would be enough.

Should it not happen in that game, then Leeds have two remaining games against Derby County and Charlton Athletic to seal their fate.
