The song was repetition, the joy was not confined. He had turned upside down, he had taken a season to take off and how Leeds United's followers were ready to tell the masses.
“We are going to win the League,” they exclaimed and that proclamation will probably become a reality after a rather extraordinary return, three goals in the last 20 minutes, two of which arrived in the two finals: flattening Sheffield United and solidifying his place in The top of the championship.
You felt that no one was more relieved that Illan Meslier, whose error of the first half had threatened to blow this race for the open title and it was significant to see it pointing to the skies, alone, while the yellow masses wrapped Ao Tanaka, whose heading had sealed these three points.
Meslier must improve, that is evident and on another night, his Rick could have proven to be fatal, but Leeds is full of character and how they continued in the second period when they destroyed Sheffield Hearts. How your goalkeeper will be grateful.
From the beginning, it was evident that Meslier was vulnerable. Chris Wilder, the cunning coach of Sheffield, will have been aware of French 'mistakes against Portsmouth, Sunderland, Preston and Hull, when his defenders enraged him gave him his fury, and clearly sought to explode.
How it worked. In the opening exchanges, when Leeds met, Meslier needed two attempts to gather a long release and then flutter in a corner, while the phalanx of red and white scavengers sought to collect any piece.

Meslier could have made a wonderful salvation in the 14 Campbell hits the post.
Here was the equivalent of showing someone their new patio doors, but then throwing a rock through glass, the destroying effect was obvious when Leeds players dropped their heads. Wilder, a presence in the technical area as bright as his white coaches, implored his men to attack.
Leeds will always be the team in the championship that carries the headlines, but there was absolutely no conclusion about them running from a gang of dangerous sides, between a United whose despair to return to the Premier League after the fiasco last season is obvious.
Bramall Lane was as hospitable during those 12 months for the locals as a row of brambles. The nights in this place often ended in resentment and recrimination, and visitors find it too easy for them; It was almost a year until the day the Arsenal had come here and walked in six goals without response.
The balance, and happiness, has been restored, but this was the opportunity that Wilder wanted, the opportunity for Sheffield to make a statement. They were excellent in the first 45 minutes, full of Endeavour and Livewire Campbell proved to be elusive as an annoying wasp.
He was backed by Sydie Peck, who wanted Mesl more every time he could, and tried to catch him in the 27th minute with a 30 -yard shot. It lacked power and precision, but, nevertheless, Meslier's rescue still caused ironic cheers of the home contingent.

However, as much as they pushed, Sheffield simply could not get that elusive second goal. They were at a mustache in half an hour, but Firpo made a rather bright intervention to take out the cross from Campbell while Ben Brereton Díaz stalking in the back post.
How expensive he showed. Leeds was never going to be as passive as they had been after the restart and there was more structure in their game, more threats while investigating. There was also, crucially, patience and everything was worth in the 71st minute.
Dan James made their way to the right and cut a cozy ball in the area. Firpo arrived as a train, his header crawled to the network for Spark Bedlam. You knew they were not over, so he showed when Tanaka appeared to win it. To a large extent, Joel Piroe's strike from 25 yards put the shine on things. Leeds, once again, are ongoing for the promised land.
