Leeds United mock Swansea City on Twitter after they return to the top of the Championship with victory at Elland Road
The Swans reportedly did not answer Leeds' calls on transfer deadline day as they tried to sign starlet Daniel James
Leeds United mocked Swansea City on Twitter after beating them 2-1 at Elland Road on Wednesday night.
Norwich City's surprise loss at Preston meant the Whites returned to the top of the Championship after winning a clash which had a bit of an added edge to it.
On transfer deadline day, Swansea pulled the plug on Daniel James' move to their promotion rivals late in the day and United channelled that frustration to make it ten straight home wins against the Welsh side.
The 21-year-old, who was born in Yorkshire, was set to sign on an initial loan deal for Marcelo Bielsa's side.
Then, if Leeds were to gain promotion, a permanent deal would be agreed. However, there were reports the Welsh side decided not to answer any calls from the Whites as the deadline passed on January 31.
And as soon as the full-time whistle rang out on Wednesday night, Leeds' social media head honcho couldn't resist a cheeky swipe at the Swams.
James, who had completed a medical and was waiting at Elland Road for the deal to be rubber-stamped, started the game and showed glimpses of why Leeds were so keen to sign him.
But the winger and his team-mates were left with an improbable task at half-time after goals from birthday boy Pontus Jansson and Jack Harrison had put Leeds in control.
United had gone on to win all 13 league games in which they had scored the opening goal this season and that record was never truly under threat despite a period of panic after Oli McBurnie's late penalty.
