Jack Harrison insists Leeds United must continue to focus on themselves in Championship promotion race

Jack Harrison says Leeds United must continue to focus on themselves after the Whites hit top spot in the Championship this weekend.

Marcelo Bielsa's side leapfrogged West Bromwich Albion into first place with a 2-0 Yorkshire derby victory over Huddersfield Town at Elland Road.

Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford struck in either half in LS11 to secure the spoils as the Baggies were held away at Swansea City.

With the win United hit top spot in the division and opened up a seven point gap to third-place Fulham with just nine games of the league campaign remaining.

It was the hosts fifth victory on the bounce but Harrison insists that he and his team-mates won't be getting carried away just yet as they look to gather as many points as possible in the run-in.

"At this point in the season we just have to continue looking at us," Harrison said.

"We're focused on winning games and getting as many points as we can. If we get too caught up with everything that's going on around in the league then it adds unnecessary pressure.

"We don't need that. We just need to stay focused on ourselves and keep our heads down and keep taking it game by game."

Asked about the victory over the Terriers, he added: "It was a good performance from the lads.

"We knew how important it was to continue this run, especially coming towards the end of the season.

"It's always nice to get that second goal and at the time we did.

"Then you have to try and manage the game from there. I think we've improved a lot on that this season."
