Former Leeds United man Archie Gray has lifted the Europa League trophy with Tottenham this evening, prompting a callback from his younger brother Harry.
Leeds come into an intriguing Premier League setup next season, with one of 16th or 17th playing Champions League football next season depending on the result of tonight’s Europa League final.

“Hope everyone had a fantastic Wednesday.”
