‘OMG’ – Lucas Radebe delivers Twitter reaction after crucial Leeds win v Barnsley
Lucas Radebe has taken to Twitter to express his delight at Leeds United moving to within one point of the Premier League on Thursday evening.
The Whites hung on for a tense 1-0 win over bottom of the table Barnsley, and now know that a single point from their final two matches – or any kind of slip up from West Brom or Brentford – will see them promoted.
The Baggies face Huddersfield Town on Friday evening, while the Bees take on Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
And Radebe was clearly over the moon with such a positive result for his former club.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, he said: “OMG, one point away from EPL status where we belong.
“Could even feel the excitement simmering.
“No doubt we are a Premiership outfit. Come on!”
Radebe has summed up how we’re feeling pretty nicely here.
There is still a huge amount of disbelief that we are standing on the edge of such a monumental achievement after such a long wait.
Make no mistake, Thursday’s game was no cakewalk, and the fact that Barnsley had twice as many shots as us speaks volumes about how utterly bizarre this contest was.
But at this point in the season, the only thing that really matters is getting the points on the board.
It wasn’t a pretty win, but it was a win nonetheless, and now Leeds could barely be any closer to a Premier League return.
If West Brom or Brentford slip up, we’re there, but it would be doubly as sweet to get the job done on the pitch against Derby County after everything that happened last season.
Right now though, we would take promotion in any shape or form.
