Jesse Marsch paraded around the pitch at full time, beating his chest, punching the air and whirling his jumper above his head.
Later, in his post-match press conference, the Leeds boss said some fans probably still hate him. But the way they sang his name during his impromptu lap of honour suggested otherwise.
This was surely the day Marsch won over even the most sceptical supporters at Elland Road. What a contrast this atmosphere was from the last time Chelsea visited in May.
Then, the mood was bleak as Marsch’s ramshackle side conceded within four minutes, had Dan James sent off 20 minutes later and slumped to a 3-0 defeat.
