Daniel Farke warns ‘nothing is achieved yet’ as Leeds edge towards PL safety

Leeds boss Daniel Farke insisted “nothing is achieved yet” after his side took another big step towards Premier League safety with a 3-0 home win against all-but relegated Wolves.

Quickfire goals from James Justin and Noah Okafor put Leeds 2-0 up inside 20 minutes before Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s stoppage-time penalty sealed back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.

Leeds had climbed six points clear of the bottom three after Monday night’s 2-1 win at Manchester United and victory over rock-bottom Wolves lifted them further clear of the bottom three.

But Farke warned: “My attitude is that nothing is achieved, nothing is done yet.

“To be there with 39 points, with five game-days to go, is a fantastic position to be in, but the feeling is still that we probably need to win one, perhaps even a few more points.

“And for that, we will not allow ourselves to take our foot off the gas. We will stay focused, concentrated and want to win this one (point), or perhaps even a few more points as soon as possible, to have it also mathematically done.

“We don’t want to travel on the last game-day into a nervy game anyhow, when you have to deliver a result in difficult away games. So we’ll try to win these points that we need as soon as possible.”

No side has been demoted from the top flight on 39 points since the 2016-17 season, but Leeds must play at relegation rivals Tottenham and West Ham, on the final day, in their last five matches.

“I would say during a normal season 39 points are probably enough, but we have a special season where teams like Tottenham, which is ridiculous, and Nottingham Forest, who are playing in Europe, are trying to chase us.

“We have also a bit of a special situation where we play Tottenham and West Ham and if you lose such a game, it means they would win three points. So this makes the situation a bit special.”

Bottom club Wolves began the day 15 points from safety and a brief upturn in form under head coach Rob Edwards has been followed by 4-0 and 3-0 defeats at West Ham and Leeds respectively.

Edwards said his side were punished again for individual errors and that he shared in the fans’ frustration as the club prepare for next season in the Championship.

“I completely understand the frustration and accept that. The fans should be angry and I’m never going to say anything other than that.

“They travel everywhere. They support the team and they have the right to vent their frustration and show their anger again.

“So absolutely no problem with me. I’m as angry as they are and disappointed.

“It’s obviously been a long time coming and our situation has been difficult for all of this season, and even seasons before, as we know and we’ve spoken about.

“So all I can do is promise them that we’re working extremely hard to make sure that we’re not feeling like this again.

“I actually think it’s quite apt that we’re here at Leeds at the moment. They have been through their difficulties as well, and fairly recently.

“But the way they’ve responded as a football club, you can see everybody now is right behind it. In the Cup semi-final, performing very well in the league as well.

“So it can be done. We can turn things around, and we’re working really hard to do that.”
