Some Leeds United supporters have been reacting on Twitter to footage filmed down on the touchline at the final whistle when the club sealed promotion from League One to the Championship. 

The Whites came from behind that day to beat Bristol Rovers and clinch the second automatic promotion spot (as per BBC Sport). Jonny Howson and Jermaine Beckford scored the crucial goals within four minutes of each other back in May 2010.

Based on the above replies, it’s clear this was a memorable experience, even if at times a stressful one for all those Leeds United fans in attendance. To go down to 10 men before turning the game around and sealing promotion at the third attempt – keeping out third-placed Millwall in the process – can only have made for a heart-stopping season finale.
