This was a performance of champions. Leeds United is not entirely there yet, but they will travel to Plymouth on Saturday, responsible for their own destination and with the chance to complete the campaign for the first time in their history on 100 points.
The side of Daniel Farke surpassed a city of Bristol City in the play-off statement on Monday evening and fulfilling their promise where that winning the championship, instead of just promotion, is the goal.
“We are proud. And the performance made it even more special, “said Leeds Skipper, Ethan Ampadu. “That was for the team and the fans.”
With their 28th League victory of the season, Leeds went back for Burnley on target difference thanks to goals from Ao Tanaka, Wilfried Gnonto and a late brace of replacement Largie Ramazani.
This was a training in front of Liam Manning. They failed to have a shot on goal until the 93rd minute.
The Robins will have to secure their play-off place when relegation against Preston travels to Ashton Gate this weekend.
For Leeds, the party was central in the spring sun long before it starts with the Stadium DJ Gold plays through Spandau Ballet and the only way is up by Yazz Pre-Match.
In the old Peacock, opposite Elland Road, Patrick Bamford put £ 5,000 behind the bar for gamblers and yellow scarves were placed on each chair inside.
On a day on which proposed images of a redeveloped Elland Road were released, the raw interpretation of 'Marching on Together' was a large memory that any modernization should not be at the expense of the atmosphere that this old school area can offer.
This was at their best leeds. Even Erling Haaland went to Snapchat to share that he was looking at the whites.
Paraag Marathe, the chairman of Leeds, had flown from San Francisco to spend the week here, with the club insisting that this was for the parties instead of feeding speculation around the future of Farke.
What he saw in the field and in the stands was nothing but appreciation for the Leeds manager.
On the field he mentioned an unchanged eleven of the team that demolished Stoke and every idea that Leeds possibly took their foot was driven out while they ran out of the blocks.
The lofted delivery of Manor Solomon found Tanaka, who brilliantly ended in the half volley to lead Leeds. Farke's men were ruthless, as they were most of the season, and Gnonto doubled the lead after he was played by Joel Piroe before Ramazani came from the bank and scored with his first touch of the Junior Firpo cross. The Belgian added another injury time.
While the players returned to celebrate promotion with the fans, the loudest roar was saved for Farke.
'I don't need public support (from the chairman). This is one of the most important days in our history. I wanted to bring this club back to the Premier League. The next step is to settle there. 'Farke told Sky Sports.
The next time this place contains a competitive fixture, it will be in the Premier League.
That much is certain, but it remains unclear whether the man who brought them back to the promised land will lead them in August.
Anyway, he deserves enormous credit for giving these fans a season they will never forget.
