Well it's been a long time since the big boys had the chance to visit the huge club that is Leeds United but it looks like the The Whites are not going to blow it this season and will return to their rightful position in English football's Premier League
b0252
Fulham were hammered 3-0 by Leeds who went back to the top of the Championship table.
Patrick Bamford gave the hosts the lead with a cool finish inside the opening 10 minutes after an incisive run and cutback from Helder Costa.
Leeds struggled to create anything of note after Bamford's early goal and boss Bielsa decided to make two changes at the break, bringing on Alioski and Hernandez for Bamford and Costa.
Alioski doubled Leeds' advantage after a quick counter-attack from Fulham's corner ended with Harrison's ball just evading two desperate visiting defenders and finding its way to the Macedonia international's feet in the area.
Hernandez, who has so often been at the heart of the Whites' best play over the past four seasons, was making his first appearance since the restart but showed no signs of being rusty.
He clipped a wonderful ball in behind the Fulham defence for Harrison to end the contest with a shot that went through visiting goalkeeper Marek Rodak for Leeds 3rd.
Leeds host struggling Luton on Tuesday. Leeds, who had lost their first game back following the suspension of the season because of the coronavirus pandemic at Cardiff last week, are now eight points clear of third-placed Brentford with seven games to play.

2 points dropped or a point gained?
Leeds United came from behind to draw with relegation-threatened Luton Town and extend their lead at the top of the Championship to four points.
It was far from a vintage performance from Marcelo Bielsa's side, who did not get going until Harry Cornick gave the visitors a shock second-half lead with a superb curling finish on the counter.
From then on it was an onslaught from the hosts, Luton goalkeeper Simon Sluga making several good saves before Stuart Dallas had the presence of mind to control the ball inside a crowded box and place low into the net to equalise.
Leeds were the only side who looked like going on to win, Patrick Bamford losing his footing when well-placed to head home and Helder Costa failing to get good contact to a last-gasp Ezgjan Alioski cross.
The result means the Whites are now just six points clear of third-placed Brentford - who thrashed Reading on Tuesday

Leeds United moved a step closer to ending their 16-year Premier League absence, as a thumping 5-0 win over struggling Stoke City sent them back to the top of the Championship.
Goals either side of half-time set the platform, as Mateusz Klich stroked in from the penalty spot at the end of a dominant first period before Helder Costa celebrated his permanent deal with a second just after the break to finish off a slick move.
Liam Cooper slammed in the third from inside the box shortly after as Leeds took control, and Pablo Hernandez's wonderfully precise effort from the edge of the area ended any Stoke hopes.
Patrick Bamford swiped in the fifth off both posts in added time to deliver a win that moved Leeds above West Brom and established a six-point gap on in-form Brentford in third, with four games left to play.
Leeds fans can look forward to league visits to Anfield and Old Trafford next season if they earn a maximum of seven more points b0252

Deeply saddened to hear of Jack Charltons passing (11/7/20).
He represented @lufc and was part of England's famous 1966 World Cup-winning side alongside his brother Bobby. It has been lovely to read how adored he was by the nation and loved ones. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Jack.

Leeds United are within touching distance of ending their 16-year Premier League exile after a last-gasp 1-0 victory at Swansea City.
Leeds marked the passing of club legend Jack Charlton before kick-off at the Liberty Stadium, then produced a solid, organised performance which leaves them needing just four points from their three remaining fixtures to clinch automatic promotion.
A game of few clear-cut chances looked set to end goalless until Swansea old boy Pablo Hernandez's low shot rolled in off the post a minute from time.
Leeds' return to the top flight could be secured when they host Barnsley on Thursday, if third-placed Brentford lose to Preston North End on Wednesday.
The Elland Road club have found form when it really matters, with this triumph meaning they have taken 13 points from their last five games.

Leeds United took another big step towards ending their 16-year wait for promotion to the Premier League by battling past bottom-of-the-table Barnsley in a tense Yorkshire derby (tHURS 16/7/20)
The Whites now need just one point in their final two matches, but could be promoted as soon as Friday if West Bromwich Albion fail to beat Huddersfield.
Seconds after Mads Andersen missed a great chance to open the scoring for the visitors, Michael Sollbauer turned Patrick Bamford's pull-back into his own net to give Marcelo Bielsa's side the lead.
The Tykes had the better of things after the break, however Conor Chaplin and Callum Styles both shot wide and Leeds held out for a vital 1-0 win.
Their ascent to the Premier League will be confirmed before they play Derby on Sunday if either the Baggies or Brentford, who visit Stoke on Saturday, do not win.

September 12 2020 Liverpool v Leeds United 5.30pmLeeds United's long-awaited return to the Premier League will add pure theatre simply for the presence of manager Marcelo Bielsa alone. And that is even before you get to the glorious attacking football they played to win the Championship last season. It won't be easy but this is a team with youth, energy and class in the shape of new England cap Kalvin Phillips and Spain striker Rodrigo, signed for £30m from Valencia, who will carry a heavy weight of attacking responsibility. Germany defender Robin Koch replaces Ben White, outstanding last season but now back at Brighton, in central defence. Leeds will be great to watch. There may be bumps along the way but a welcome addition to the top flight. BBC |
