Leeds handed the Foxes defeat at the King Power stadium after goals from Stuart Dallas, Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison cancelled out Harvey Barnes' 13th minute opener.

It was the first time this season Brendan Rodgers had seen his side lose from a winning position and also United's first three point haul against a top six outfit since promotion in the summer.

Marcelo Bielsa's men remained 12th in the table but have now opened up a 15 point gap between themselves and the relegation places.

Alioski - whose current deal at Elland Road expires in six months - admits that he and his teammates enjoyed the victory but says attention will quickly move to Everton in midweek.

"It's the moment to enjoy it. Tomorrow [Monday] we need to start thinking about another game," Alioski said post-match.

"This is the best feeling. I love to see the squad how it is. It's the best thing when you go in the dressing room to see the happiness and nice mood.

"It gives you the best feeling to see teammates so happy after a win."

Asked if the victory was the best of the season for Leeds so far, he said: "We beat a really strong team. One of the best teams from the top six.

"It was a good performance from each other. It's what we wanted in the game - to be aggressive, to win the second balls, not give up and play with intensity.

"I think we have also had other games that have been good, but maybe we didn't win or we draw.

"We try in every game to give a good performance and beat the performance from the last game. We can learn from this game for the next one [against Everton].

United's number nine Bamford moved his goal tally to 11 for the season with a stunning strike against the Foxes.

He also bagged two assists, with the latter a pass which allowed winger Harrison to tap into an empty net following an incisive breakaway.

"I'm happy for Patrick to score and assist. He is our striker," Alioski added.

"In the end it's not to be nice or beautiful because a goal is a goal. The most important thing is our performance.

"We always get chances sometimes we don't have luck or they don't go in."
