Leeds United went back to the top of the table and placed himself in the box seat for the championship title after he had blown away Bristol City to win 4-0 on Monday.
The match itself was one of the extreme domination with the already promoted side of Daniel Farke and did not give them no pinch at all.
Leeds endangered enough in the opening phase, where Jayden Bogle did not come at the end of the Junior Firpo ball over the face of the goal in the fourth minute.
Manor Solomon then forced an impressive rescue from the goalkeeper Max O'Leary from Bristol City 10 minutes before Joel Piroe offside collapsed when Solomon had the ball in the net six minutes later.
Ao Tanaka finally opened the score at 22 minutes and it had come. The Japanese international ended in the back post on the Half Volley of Solomon's Cross.
There was none of the hosts who doubled their lead almost eight minutes before the break from Brendan Aaronson after he had shown brilliant individual skills to weave in a shooting opportunity.
The game itself was over when a match 10 minutes in the second half when Willy Gnonto converted after he was selected by Piroe's long pass.
In the meantime, Bristol City had to wait until the 75th minute on their first shot on Doel, where Scott Twine widened a tame effort wide.
Replace Largie Ramazani to fill in things just 36 seconds after a goal replacement before he added a second in a stop time.
For the visitors, Marcus McGuane had the only shot of Bristol City in the 93rd minute, which was easily kept by goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
The victory moves Leeds on 97 points and they will now travel to the already related Plyry Argyle on the last day, knowing that a victory will deliver the championship title. For Bristol City they have to beat relegation-threatened Preston North End to confirm a place in the play-offs.
