Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says there’s still work to do, even after Friday’s 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley.  

The victory pushed Leeds to 43 points and further clear of relegation danger. That total has never been enough for a Premier League team to go down, making survival likely.  

Still, Farke wants his squad to keep pushing and aim to win their last three games.

“Even if we should be mathematically safe before the last ‌game day, then we would fight for ⁠each and every ‌point,” he said.

“And we want to finish as strong as possible in order to enjoy also the last game, to give our supporters more to cheer about.”

Farke said the win over Burnley was a “massive” boost for his side. Anton Stach, Noah Okafor, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goals in the 3-1 victory.

“The mentality and the work ethic and the unity and the spirit in the dressing room of these lads is really second to none, and I'm just proud of ‌what they deliver at the moment,” said Farke.

“I said before the game, 12 points to fight for, but now we have the first three under our belt, we also want to win the following nine.”

German midfielder Anton Stach put Leeds ahead in the 8th minute with a low strike from distance, earning extra praise from Farke afterward.

“He always delivers unbelievable workloads in ‌terms of covering distance, delivers top set pieces delivers goals, he delivers assists,” Farke said of ‌his 27-year-old compatriot.

“Top mentality, strong in the duels ... I think he plays an outstanding season and he deserves all the praise and is in the spotlight. Definitely one of our key players ⁠and one of our ⁠best players on this ‌level.”
