"I don't think me saying we were strong outsiders for Europe before a ball was even kicked looks all that outlandish now, does it?"

That's the question Leeds United fan Lewis Deighton posed after Daniel Farke's side earned their first Premier League win since September in their "dreaded 12:30 kick-off" against Tottenham.

It was a victory that moved the Whites up to ninth in the Premier League table on 14 points, just in time for the two-week international break.

Deighton added: "We are going into this international break with a bit of clarity, a bit more positivity and a bit of a breather. We needed this result for the vibes.

"We are only two points off a Europa League spot as things stand."
