LEEDS United sealed their place in the Championship playoff final with a thumping 4-0 win over Norwich City on Thursday evening.
A long-range free-kick from Ilia Gruev caught former Saints keeper Angus Gunn sleeping to set Leeds on a path to glory seven minutes in.
Dutch forward Joel Piroe then beat Gunn to a glorious cross from Willy Gnonto to double the Whites' lead.
Josh Sargent was denied after racing through one-on-one by the outstretched hand of Illan Meslier as he tried to dink the French keeper.
That miss came to cost Norwich as Georginio Rutter fired into the top corner five minutes before the break to put the game beyond doubt.
A rampant Leeds rounded off a brilliant performance in front of a raucous Elland Road crowd when Crysencio Summerville prodded home a second half goal.
Daniel Farke's side now await the winner of Friday night's other playoff semi-final between Southampton and West Brom, which currently stands at 0-0.
