SO much for Leeds' play-off curse. They smashed Norwich in front of an electric Elland Road to return to top form and book their place in the Championship play-off final.
Neither Southampton nor West Brom will fancy them Wembley on Sunday week after a high-octane display and Daniel Farke's side were back to their best.
After stuttering in the final weeks of the campaign to miss out on automatic promotion, Leeds blew Norwich away, scoring three goals in the first 40 minutes.
Leeds are back at Wembley for the first time since they lost the 2008 League One play-off final to Doncaster and they have not won at the home of football since Eric Cantona scored a hat-trick in their 1992 Charity Shield victory against Liverpool.
They will take some stopping on this evidence and they were unplayable. Norwich, under David Wagner who won the 2017 Championship play-offs with Huddersfield, had no answer to Leeds.
