Ezgjan Alioski, Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Raphinha also struck to cement a memorable win

During Hasselbaink’s post-match analysis, talk turned towards transfers.

Asked if Harrison could make the move to Elland Road on a permanent deal, Hasselbaink replied: “I think they tried it in the summer and they couldn't get an agreement.

“I think they are going to try again. He loves his football at Leeds and he has matured big-time coming out of the youth system.

"You can see that he is growing and that he is an important player for Leeds United.”

Harrison’s loan deal is said to include the option to purchase the winger permanently at the end of the season.
