LEEDS United booked a date at Wembley in the League One Play-Off final after Jonathan Howson bagged a superb double to defeat Carlisle.
The Whites went in to the clash at Brunton Park trailing 2-1 after the first leg at Elland Road on Monday night.
But Leeds were on level terms just ten minutes in to the second leg as Leeds-born Howson produced a clinical finish as Gary McAllister's men made a bright start to the clash.
And they looked the more likely to come out on top throughout, with Howson leaving it until the last minute to seal Leeds' progression thanks to an impressive finish from the edge of the box.
United will have to wait until Friday night to learn who their opponents will be at Wembley, with Doncaster Rovers hosting Southend United.
