Farke delighted with 'relentless' Leeds

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was delighted by his team's refusal to rest on their laurels as they demolished Cardiff City 7-0 to stay two points clear at the top of the Championship.

"After a win always relief, but winning with such an impressive scoreline makes it more special," Farke told BBC Radio Leeds.

"We have said this league is relentless and to succeed you need to become relentless yourselves and that is more or less what we have shown.

"What I liked a lot about this performance is in the last 20 minutes when we were 4-0 and 5-0 up we still had the desire to sprint back and press and defend the clean sheet and also the intention to create more chances and to score further goals. We could perhaps have scored even a few more.

"A day like this, it doesn't come along that often, especially in this league, so you have to enjoy this."

Leeds - who were only one goal short of equalling their club record 8-0 league win over Leicester City in 1934 - now have a chance to stretch their lead over Sheffield United in Wednesday's away game against Coventry City.

"We don't underestimate this league, or underestimate that their could be injuries, dips in form, so for that, you need a good group and we have a good group and they deserve all the praise," added Farke.
