Partition the vertices into two sets of comparable size. If np→∞, the first set contains a triangle with probability tending to one. Conditional on any triangle chosen using only internal edges, the probability that none of its vertices has a neighbour in the second set is at most
(1−p)3⌊n/2⌋≤e−3p⌊n/2⌋⟶0.

Hence G(n,p) contains a triangle with an attached leaf with probability tending to one.
