'League sewn up!' Leeds United fans react to 3-1 win at Bristol City

Leeds United were back with a bang in their opening game of the 2019/20 campaign, as they put Bristol City to the sword in a 3-1 victory at Ashton Gate.

Goals from Pablo Hernandez, Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison gave Leeds a comfortable win, although they were denied a clean sheet late on when Andreas Weimann scored a consolation.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are seen as the favourites for the title this season and their performance laid down a marker for the remainder of the campaign, ahead of the first game of the season at Elland Road next weekend against Nottingham Forest.

While there were concerns as to whether Leeds would have a hangover following playoff heartbreak last season, Leeds put those concerns to bed with a fine performance.

As a result, Leeds fans on social media were delighted with the performance of their beloved side and swarmed the club with praise for their display.
