Cool Harrison has Leeds closing in on end of exile

After applying the decisive touch that has Leeds within sight of ending a 15-year Premier League exile, Jack Harrison allowed himself a moment of indulgence. How effective would the intoxicating brand of football Marcelo Bielsa has brought to the Yorkshire club prove in higher company? ‘You see the style of play we have, it is not like the rest of the Championship teams,’ said Harrison. ‘It will be interesting to see if we can continue that style in the Premier League.’ Harrison’s carpet-slipper finish to Pablo Hernandez’s inviting low cross 20 minutes after the break opened up a three-point advantage for Leeds over Sheffield United in the tussle for automatic promotion, with only four fixtures remaining. Belief is growing that top-flight status will be regained. ‘With the history of the club, we deserve to be there,’ said Manchester City loanee Harrison. ‘It has been great to be a part of it.’ Had it not been for an inspired display from goalkeeper Keiren Westwood, what was only Wednesday’s second defeat in 14 league matches under Steve Bruce would have been an inevitability much sooner. ‘You’re a good Championship goalkeeper if you’re better than him,’ said Bruce.
