Leeds United is back in the English Premier League.

Leeds won a 6-0 victory over Stoke City in the 44th round of the English Championship (second division) in the 2024-2025 season at Allen Road in Leeds, England on the 21st (Korea time). Leeds, who had a point of 94, confirmed their promotion side by side, with Burnley winning against second-place Burnley-3 Sheffield.

Leeds and Burnley have 94 points side by side, widening the gap with third-place Sheffield (86 points). The three teams have been in a fierce three-way race all season, but Leeds and Burnley laughed as Sheffield fell into a 1-4 slump in their last five games. Regardless of the remaining two games, Leeds and Burnley are in first and second place. The championship is automatically promoted by the first and second place teams.




Leeds led the way with Joel Firoue scoring four goals. Leeds, leading 5-0 in the first half alone, scored a decisive goal from Wilfried Gundo in the second half to win the game completely.

Leeds won promotion two seasons after being relegated in the 2022-2023 season. Leeds, who reached the final of last season's promotion play-off, lost to Southampton and remained in the Championship, were desperate to win direct promotion this season.

Liz said on her website 'We're going back to the EPL!' The team was then excellent throughout the season and marked a scene in Leeds' history. EPL is where Leeds should be, and our goal is to build a long-term presence there. I've been quietly preparing the club for the moment. Looking forward to rejoining the Premier League with you guys. I hope you enjoy the cheers. We deserve it.

Burnley also succeeded in promotion. Burnley, who was relegated last season, returned to the EPL after one season. Prior to the season, there was a variable that coach Bangsang Kompany suddenly left for Bayern Munich, but manager Scott Parker took over and achieved promotion. Burnley won promotion, boasting a remarkable defence of 15 runs in 44 games since Parker's appointment.

What's left is the race between Leeds and Burnley. The two teams currently split first and second place by goal difference. Win both games and can finish the season with 100 points. Leicester City, which was considered the all-time pace last season, also failed to score a point.
