On a night where Leeds United registered consecutive victories on home turn, defeating Burnley 3-1 in the Premier League, Dominic Calvert-Lewin grabbed his 13th goal of the campaign from close range.

Anton Stach had the Whites 1-0 up within 10 minutes and Noah Okafor doubled the lead in the second half, before the England centre-forward prodded home to put the hosts firmly in the driving seat.

Speaking exclusively after the match to Sky Sports, Calvert-Lewin said: “It is an unbelievable feeling!” the forward began.

“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.”
