Dominic Calvert-Lewin has hailed an unbelievable feeling as Leeds United edged closer to Premier League safety withy a 3-1 win over Burnley.
Daniel Farke’s side cruised past the relegated Clarets at Elland Road, with Anton Stach’s strike opening scoring after eight minutes.
Two goals in four second-half minutes from Noah Okafor and Calvert-Lewin made the result safe, before Loum Tchaouna thumped in a consolation for the visitors.
Leeds extended their unbeaten run to six Premier League games and are now nine points clear of the drop zone.
Calvert-Lewin hailed the execution of the game plan as Leeds took a giant step towards survival.
“It is an unbelievable feeling!” the forward said.
“I think obviously coming into the game, we wanted to start with a lot of intensity, which I think we did, and we executed the game plan really well.
“Obviously they come in playing with nothing to lose really, so that can be dangerous sometimes, but I am pleased and proud of the boys with how we performed.
“It was disappointing on the weekend to not get the result that we were hoping for, but I think the mood in camp has been good.
“We were fully focused on getting the job done tonight, and I think you could see that from the start.”
