Leeds United v Sunderland live: Updates and analysis from Elland Road, huge Whites boost, TV details

“It happened so quick, you don’t have the chance to wobble on it. The reality is that decisions and swings and roundabouts, I think it would have been incredibly harsh if the game was decided on that decision.”

“I think they will. I think they are the best team in the league. Daniel gives them such freedom. I just think in the two games we have had against them we have executed the gameplan to perfection. It is an honour to be stood alongside Daniel on the sidelines, I want to be competing against the best.”

“It is the only reason we did not win the game. The overall feeling is that we are disappointed and a bit frustrated, we had the chance tonight to take a major step. I am pleased with several things, we returned back to strong defensive behaviour. Back to a clean sheet. We didn’t create enough chances, we were also unfortunate with several decisions, should have had a penalty in the first half and second half, both handballs, three minutes for ten substitutions. I don’t know if we would have scored (with more time). In several things tonight the lads delivered but it’s just a point and that’s disappointing.”

“This is not my style to ask for red cards but I just ask for the rules, when you lean into the ball with your elbow I’m sorry but you have to give it. And the second one is clear.”

“The structure was much better today than Coventry and the intensity. But sometimes you do things in the right way and don’t get the rewards. But stay relentless and stay on it, for that I am not too annoyed, sometimes even a point can prove to be valuable by the end of the season. It doesn’t feel like it it now but it can be crucial. We are not over the moon but we didn’t lose.”

“We have a tendency to force it a bit too much over the left side, but when you have a key player like him it is natural that you search for him. We are not too addicted to one side or one player. In the last game and today I do agree.”

“As a striker you are just confident if you score one goal after another, sometimes you are just unlucky, he worked a lot today. His experience is important and we wanted to have him on the pitch for as long as possible.”

“You never know, it was more that we didn’t create enough clear-cut chances. We were not there with one on one chances. It’s always a bit guessing, I think in general today I wouldn’t blame a player, it was more like the approach we didn’t create enough.”

“No because we have gained one point closer. I ended my first promotion with Norwich with draw, draw, draw, draw, win, win. Everyone was panicking, a draw is not enough, and it was. You never know. Whatever happens tomorrow we are within one game, even if Ipswich win.”

“It is important that when you want to lead the lead the club from a sporting position that you don’t run around like a headless hen. They are all young men and highly motivated, they would prefer to be top of the table, but they invested a lot, they were unlucky and you never know. Lets keep going.”
