Raphinha performed South American ritual after Leeds avoided relegation

Leeds United will be a Premier League team in 2022/23.

Going into the final day of the season, Jesse Marsch’s side were the firm favourites to be relegated to the Championship.

Leeds were sat in 18th place and faced a tough trip to Brentford, while Burnley hosted Newcastle United at Turf Moor.

But it was Leeds who managed to get the job done, the Whites taking advantage of Burnley’s 2-1 defeat and beating Brentford by the exact same scoreline.

A penalty from Raphinha and a late strike by Jack Harrison secured Leeds’ most important victory in their recent history.

The scenes in the away end after the game were great to see and Raphinha got heavily involved.
