There were wild celebrations as fans and players alike partied hard after the momentous achievement.

Leeds winger Largie Ramazani took fans behind-the-scenes and interviewed his team-mates as they enjoyed their success.

Amid champagne bottles being sprayed and players dancing Ramazani tried to ask the stars their thoughts on gaining promotion.

Left-back said: “It's an unbelievable day. I'm really happy, I just want to enjoy now.”

While Ao Tanaka shouted into the mic: “I am so happy. So happy. I can't find the words.”

Captain and had few words to say but , on loan from Tottenham, said: “I'm feeling amazing. I can't find the words I'm so happy.”

The likes of Wilfried Gnonto, Pascal Struijk and Joel Piroe – who put four past Stoke – celebrated with promotion banners draped around their shoulders.

Ramazani, a former youth player, then picked one up and flung it around before dancing, leading one fan to brand him the new Ezgjan Alioski – Leeds' chief partyer the last time they were promoted to the Prem in 2020.

Boss Daniel Farke later stepped outside to greet the thousands of fas gathered outside Elland Road.

He danced along as fans sang his name and led a big cheer before applauding the crowd.

After promotion was confirmed, Farke said: ‘I'm lost for words, which doesn't happen that often. You could see from this morning that the atmosphere was amazing.

“94 points at this stage of the season is unbelievable. The players should celebrate, our supporters should celebrate and we will definitely make sure that Easter Monday lasts for one or two more days.

“It's difficult on such an emotional day to reflect too much but it was a long road. It's not easy to stabilise the ship after relegation, and to deal with the lost important players and a hangover from relegation.

“I just want right now beer after beer, champagne after champagne and don't bother me about football for a few days.'

“We were not able to spend too much money and I was also a bit jealous that some other clubs could spend money.”
