Leeds United 4-0 Norwich City highlights: Whites book their place at Wembley in Championship play-off final
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites are potentially 180 minutes from the Premier League, starting tonight with their semi-final second leg against Norwich.
David Wagner’s Canaries do not boast the best away record in the Championship this season, while Daniel Farke’s men are statistically the second-strongest home side in the division. But, the play-offs are a different entity altogether and knockout football has a tendency to facilitate high drama.

Hide AdExtra time and penalties may be required this evening, if the two sides remain level, unable to be separated at the end of normal time. Elland Road is a sell-out, as one might anticipate on a night of such magnitude, with emotions expected to run high.
Striker Patrick Bamford was ruled out of this fixture last week by Farke with minor knee trauma and is not expected to return. The manager sprung a surprise in his team selection at Carrow Road last weekend, though, packing the midfield with an additional body; what he has in store for Leeds supporters tonight remains to be seen.

Leeds United vs Norwich City LIVE
GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL SUMMERVILLE 4-0
68' Kamara with a beauty of a first-time pass into Summerville, he finds Gnonto who takes a shot. Gunn parries into the path of Firpo who keeps his cool and slots back to the Dutchman.
'Wembley, Wembley' is the chant now, from all corners.
'Aaaaaaaam-paaaaa-du-du-du'
65' Gruev loops a deep free-kick to the back post which Ampadu heads back across but stays down. Looked to have headed the back of Jack Stacey's head. Fine to carry on. Welsh.
61’ Rowe jumps across Kamara, who goes down heavily. No second yellow. Not sure it warranted one, without seeing a replay.
Canaries
61' Norwich having a little spell now, seeing more of the ball and doing more with it, particularly the long diagonals out to Stacey who is camped on the right flank.
Yellow and a chance
56' Summerville clean through from Rutter's flick-on. Comes after Leeds fans ole-ing pass after pass. Dutchman eventually dispossessed, though. Georginio booked as Sainz carries the ball down the Norwich left.
One-sided
54' Gunn with another important save to keep Norwich in this tie. Georginio plays in Summerville, Piroe goes on the overlap, opens his body to shoot and the Canaries stopper smothers the shot. Gruev then goes into the book as the visitors counter.
He's a Dutchman don't you know
51' Summerville almost scores an Alan Shearer-esque header from an Archie Gray cross. Just over the crossbar, good connection. Then, he's onto the ball down the left, takes on Duffy and forces Gunn to save with his legs.
Start as you mean to go on
46' SAVE! Rutter into Summerville whose one touch cushioned pass into Piroe almost results in a fourth, if not for a great stop by Gunn. 31 seconds into the half.
