Captain Ethan Ampadu believes Leeds United are well placed to secure Premier League survival after a 3-1 win over Burnley at Elland Road on Friday.
Goals from Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin earned Leeds a comfortable victory and moved them nine points clear of 18th placed Tottenham, with three matches remaining.
The result marked an important response after last weekend’s disappointment and further strengthened their grip on safety.
Speaking after the match, the Welsh international of Ghanaian descent said: “We're delighted. I said before the game that we've not managed to beat Burnley and we wanted a bit of revenge and get to 43 points.
"We like to think we've put ourselves in a strong position with three games left.”
He also praised the supporters for their backing on a key weekend in the season.
“We wanted to give them a bank holiday weekend to enjoy. We had the disappointment last weekend. Hopefully, three more good results.”
Ampadu added that manager Daniel Farke has been key to the team’s consistency and confidence during the run-in.
“He gives everyone the confidence and the license to go and play with confidence and with freedom. We're well prepared for the games and that puts us in a great position.”
