Leeds United ended their Premier League return in style by beating already-relegated West Brom 3-1 at Elland Road on Sunday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side deservedly led 2-0 at half-time thanks to Rodrigo’s bullet header (17) and Kalvin Phillips’s cheeky free-kick.

The hosts then introduced top-scorer Patrick Bamford at the break, with the striker adding a third from the spot with 11 minutes to go, before Hal Robson-Kanu’s netted a last-minute consolation for Sam Allardyce in his final game in charge of West Brom.

As a result, Leeds ended the season in style with four straight wins – the club’s best top-flight run in 19 years – while the Baggies drop down to the Championship on the back of four defeats in a row.
