And Leeds fans were delighted with how their manager Marcelo Bielsa reacted.
Leeds came back from a Semi Ajayi goal as Mateusz Klich netted twice away from home.
The win sent Leeds three points clear at the top of the table as Norwich drew with Sheffield United.
And Bielsa reacted to the win at full time with a very emotional celebration.
The usually-stoic manager turned around and hugged his assistant on the sidelines.
Bielsa has endured a miserable January, with Leeds being dumped out of the FA Cup and suffering defeats to Nottingham Forest and Stoke.
They were also embroiled in a spying scandal that is yet to be properly put to bed.
And Leeds fans were delighted to see the relief from Bielsa, who is usually restrained from showing emotion on the sidelines.
“love it! MOT,” one fan tweeted.
Another put: “Even he’s feeling the pressure.”
A third said: “Love it. It was a very long hug. Could tell what that win meant..”
A fourth tweeted: “Can somebody please source video of Bielsa’s hug at the end. Need something to watch on repeat tonight.”
And a fifth fan simply said: “I want a hug from Bielsa.”
Next up for Leeds is a crunch tie with second-place Norwich at Elland Road next Saturday.
The Whites are desperate to return to the Premier League after 15 years outside the top flight.
Bielsa has already signed Kiko Casilla in this transfer window and may make further moves before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
As for Rotherham, they stay embroiled in a relegation battle and sit 21st in the table – two points off the drop zone.
