Leeds must 'stay awake' to stop threat of complacency

Daniel Farke conceded Leeds were in good shape with a five-point lead at the top of the Championship but insisted his side must guard against complacency.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds after the 4-0 win at Watford, Farke said: "It is so far so good. After 32 game days to be there with 59 points is outstanding but judgement is in May when we have played 46 games.

"We know we have a good momentum and are in great shape but we have to use and ride this moment and keep going. For that we want to keep this momentum, stay awake and stay on it.

"We have to stay focused and professional."

Leeds were quickly into a 2-0 lead courtesy of two goals from Dan James. They added a third before half time through Manor Solomon and a fourth just after the hour mark from Joel Piroe.

"We were excellent on the counter attack and excellent in the way we scored the goals but we needed good structure," added Farke. "I predict not many teams will leave here with three points so I am pretty happy with the win and the scoreline and clean sheet.

"Today we were really excellent in executing our counter attacks and the fourth goal was poetry in motion. You have to say the individual performance of the players up front was of a top level.

"If we perform like this our offensive row is really unplayable at times. They were excellent."
