After reaching their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 with a dramatic penalty shootout win over West Ham, Leeds claimed their first league win at Old Trafford since 1981. "We are six points clear of the bottom now but the more points we get on the table, the happier I will be."
[Getty Images] Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says his team are "working hard" to prove the old saying 'Leeds are falling apart again' wrong this season, following two big wins in the FA Cup and Premier League in the space of eight days. After reaching their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 with a dramatic penalty shootout win over West Ham , Leeds claimed their first league win at Old Trafford since 1981 . Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Daniel Farke said: "I'm pretty tired, like after the FA Cup game, but I'm pretty relieved.
I'm unbelievably proud of the boys, what a week we've had! "We are working to get rid of this old narrative that 'Leeds are falling apart again'. We want to deliver when it counts.
"It is a huge step forward for us - but I'm not so interested in the gap, I'm interested in the amount of points. Nothing is achieved yet so we have no reason not to stay grounded, humble and hungry. " Dominic Calvert-Lewin was measured with his emotions after the 2-1 win: "It is a really good feeling.
I'm probably not as high as you would think because we still have a job to do. "We can be proud of ourselves because it has gone down in the history books, but I'm focused on making sure we are mathematically safe. "We are six points clear of the bottom now but the more points we get on the table, the happier I will be.
