00:00Good afternoon from Elland Road and what a day it has been here in West Yorkshire.
00:05Leeds knew that a win would take them to the brink of promotion to the Premier League.
00:09They're now waiting with bated breath to see how the clash between Burnley and Sheffield United will go.
00:15That kicks off in about half an hour and anything but a Sheffield United win will confirm that Leeds United are back in the Premier League after a two-year absence.
00:24And Leeds were very much tipped by to win this game against Stoke.
00:27Stoke, it's been a difficult season for the Potters. Leeds have really picked up of late.
00:31But I don't think anyone really expected the level of performance we saw from Daniel Farker's side today.
00:35The tone was set from the very first one. It was a fantastic atmosphere, a very expectant crowd, a real party atmosphere.
00:42And Joel Peru, within 20 minutes, has scored a hat-trick, added a fourth before the half-time whistle.
00:48Junior Firpo got in on the act as well. 5-0 at half-time. The game very much wrapped up.
00:53It would have taken an absolute miracle from Stoke.
00:55And the Potters didn't really come at Leeds in the second half in the way that many people thought they would.
01:00They could have thrown caution to the wind. They wouldn't have been able to claw it back.
01:03But, yeah, Leeds looked really comfortable. Never looked flustered.
01:06There were no instances of complacency.
01:09And Wilfred Nonto added a sixth.
01:10A great header got into the end of a Man of Solomon cross that was beautifully bloated into the box.
01:15And Nonto added a sixth.
01:17It was an absolutely ruthless performance from Leeds.
01:20And there is every chance that in a matter of hours, Leeds could have their place in the Premier League confirmed.
