The Whites’ fanbase are one of the most passionate in the country, and unfortunately, success has been hard to come by in Yorkshire over the past couple of decades.
A few members of the fanbase celebrated the U11s’ success as if the first-team had just lifted a major trophy.
Others used this opportunity to joke about the senior squad’s current striking issues.
Fans have made their thoughts about Patrick Bamford known in recent weeks, and they were satirically hoping that one of these U11 players could replace him.
Another section of the fanbase were buzzing about the fact that they’d beaten their biggest rivals in their own competition, even if it was at youth level.
In other news, Leeds may take some comfort from the xG table after Saturday’s loss.
