After two years away from England’s top flight, Leeds United are headed back to the big time.
Brenden Aaronson and his Leeds United teammates celebrated promotion back to the Premier League on Monday following a 6-0 EFL Championship victory over Stoke City. Paired with Burnley’s 2-1 victory over Sheffield United later in the day, Daniel Farke’s men clinched one of the two automatic promotion spots for the 2025-26 season.
Aaronson started and played 86 minutes in Monday’s match, being a part of a lopsided win for the Lilywhites.
Joel Piroe led the way with four goals of his own while Junior Firpo and Wilfried Gnonto added tallies as well.
The result marked Leeds United’s 27th league victory of the season, which are tied for the most in the league (Sheffield United). Aaronson, who spent last season on loan at Bundesliga side Union Berlin, has chipped in nine goals this campaign.
Leeds United are tied with Burnley on 94 points apiece, heading into the final two matches of the season.
