Leeds United moved a step closer to securing promotion to the Premier League after beating Stoke City 5-0 in the Championship at Elland Road on Thursday.

With that victory, the Whites have regained the top position in the league, and are on course to ending their 16-year Premier League absence.

The Whites got the breakthrough towards the end of a dominant first half when Mateusz Klich stroked in from the penalty spot.

The second half saw complete ruthlessness from Marcelo Bielsa’s side, with Helder Costa, Liam Cooper, Pablo Hernandez, and Patrick Bamford getting their names on the scoresheet.

Many Leeds United fans took to social networking site Twitter after the game to express their reaction to Bamford’s performance. Here are some of the selected tweets:

Bamford’s been one of our best players since the restart and I won’t hear otherwise, playing out of his skin.#LUFC
