There is nationwide sadness at the continued absence of supporters from Premier League stadiums, even if it feels eerily normal these days to see empty seats everywhere you look. But as Patrick Bamford scored Leeds United’s second goal here to put them out of sight against Crystal Palace, you had to wonder what Elland Road would have felt like on a night like this.
Leeds has waited for long enough to see its football side back in the Premier League. Just being here this season would have felt like an achievement for some supporters of a club who have spent years in the wilderness. But luckily for them, Marcelo Bielsa and his supporters do not share that sentiment, it seems.
