Leeds United ended their first season back in the Premier League with a fourth successive victory as they comfortably beat relegated West Brom in front of the returning fans at Elland Road.
Able to watch their side at home in the top-flight for the first time in 17 years, 8,000 Leeds supporters created a suitable party atmosphere to celebrate the club’s stellar campaign, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side produced a fitting finale.
Goals from Rodrigo, Kalvin Phillips and substitute Patrick Bamford ensured the hosts end the season ninth, after one defeat in their final 11 games.
Leeds won four in a row in a single Premier League season for the first time since April 2001.
Leeds’ striker Patrick Bamford scored his 17th Premier League goal of the season, the most by a player for a promoted club in a top-flight campaign since Charlie Austin for QPR in 2014-15 (18).
Raphinha registered his ninth Premier League assist for Leeds, the first player to do so in a top-flight season for the club since both Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (13) and Harry Kewell (nine) in 1998-99.
Final league position 9th after 38 games
