Leeds United are just one win away from promotion after thrashing Norwich 4-0 in the play-offs last night.

Daniel Farke's side, who staggered into the play-offs after winning just one of their last six games of the regular season, rediscovered top form to blow Norwich away with three goals in the first half.

The Leeds boss described their display as "nearly perfect".

Daniel Farke said: "It was one of our most complex performances during the whole season today.

"We dominated possession, we were so creative, had many, many clear-cut chances, scored four goals, should have scored many more goals to be honest.

"Many compliments to my young side. I was a bit concerned because the pressure was a bit on us here at Elland Road after the first game and due to the season we had.

"The lads delivered in a perfect way, with their game management - pretty impressive for such a young side, so yes, many compliments, but we should have been more effective in using the chances.

"Especially in the beginning of the second half, so it was nearly a perfect night for us and we're all happy."

Goals came from Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville.

They'll have to wait until tonight to see whether they take on Southampton or West Brom.
