Fark: It’s only three points – anything can happen in recent weeks
Leeds boss Daniel Fark:
“During the first 25 minutes, they were so better. They have invested a lot in their material production and they were also more shift in eruptions and deserved to be at the forefront.
“We were very tense at the beginning, then from the 25th minute, we started playing football and then we controlled more and more as it won this game, but it was difficult today against a good opponent.
“We needed a little luck in the crucial moments today, but however, the result was perfect.
“When you win against the upper aspects of this league, it is good to trust and the entire mood, but it is only three points.
“Not much has changed, just one lower game – one game is very difficult – but if we stop winning at the present time, we will not finish in the place we want to finish, so we have to continue.
“We are happy tonight, but we remain humble, stay on the ground, and we also feel discipline, not exaggerating anything.
“Anything can happen in recent weeks and also, when there is an injury or two others or lose momentum, it will not end in the place where you must end, but I must say, so far, very good, we have to use this more and want to continue “.
James on “Incredible” victory
Leeds Midfielder Daniel James:
“It was incredible. In the first 20 minutes, they got out of the traps and did not go out quickly enough.
“They got the goal, and we knew it would be difficult from there. But it was about research. We knew that we had goals in the team, it was about getting this first.
“Once she entered, I thought we just had to demand and try to get the winner. Then they threw the bodies forward and this is what we got at the third.
“We always knew that tonight was a huge game for them and to get it.
“Sheffield United still played Burnley. Even the point tonight we were still getting out of the league.
“They put it on us in the first half, but we knew that we must go and reach the attackers, and we took our chances in the second half.
“I just try to kick in every game and for me, it is about aggression. They closed the right side down a little more today and tried to double.
“So it is only about trying to create things when I can. I will always get chances at the end of the game when you get tired of the difference, then you have to be merciless and get your rewards at the end of the game.”
Return goals
Verbo: We have never stopped faith
Leeds Junior Verbo:
“We never stopped faith. We started a bit slow today and confessed to the goal, but we have the best fitness as a team, and we have options outside the seat that can change the game and continue to the end.
“The goals came out of nothing and we are really happy.
“There are still a lot of games to play. Five points are a good distance but as you say the way we go in the games, we are at the top of everything.
“This team is really strong and has a lot of self -belief and we will continue.”
Peru: Once we got one, we knew that we would get another

“I felt that we were watching the elected heroes.
“Sheffield United played her role, but as Sindirland found last week, Leeds for 90 minutes is not easy.
“This was a derby in the wonderful Yorkshire and the men of Chris Wilder deserve a big balance. But Leeds will stop some stop, and in evidence tonight, there is a good opportunity for both sides that can play these two football in the Premier League next season.”
Dallas: Leeds must support this victory

To be fair to Daniel [James]After working with him he will be calm there. They were in this position before.

“He will know it is a big victory and will enjoy it. He only puts another game. It’s thick and fast.
“They got another one at an early start on Saturday, which is a difficult game against West Brom. If they pass it, they will be in a really good position, but winning a match like this does not mean anything if you do not write down” t on. “
