Having enjoyed England's convincing 3-0 triumph over Senegal on Sunday evening, Leeds United supporters can be seen taking satisfaction in more FIFA World Cup action.
Gareth Southgate's side, backed by fans across the nation, progressed into the quarter-finals thanks to goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka. The Three Lions will now face France on Saturday evening.
However, the most convincing performance throughout the knockout stages thus far has come from the pre-tournament favourites.

And at the heart of Brazil's spectacular 4-1 win against the Republic of Korea was a strong Leeds connection. As he did ever so often at Elland Road, Raphinha bamboozled defenders with spectacular flicks and tricks, whilst also offering a constant goal threat.
The 25-year-old's display will widely be recognised for its role in Vinicius Junior's opener and has provided Whites fans with flashbacks to Raphinha's two full seasons in Yorkshire.
He made 67 appearances for Leeds after joining from Stade Rennes in a £17 million deal, scoring 17 goals and providing two assists during his time at the club. It is widely recognised that without Raphinha's presence Leeds would have been relegated last season.
Such ability was demonstrated by the £55 million pound fee that the Barcelona agreed to pay Leeds for his signature.
Below is a taste of how supporters reacted to a star showing from one of their modern-day favourites...
