Jamie Carragher has been stunned by the turnaround of Leeds United over the past couple of weeks in the Premier League.

Daniel Farke and the Whites stumbled into the international break with two goalless draws, but have since returned with a bang to open up an eight-point gap to the bottom three.

An FA Cup quarter-final win over West Ham has been followed up by sensational victories over Manchester United and Wolves, with survival in touching distance.

Leeds battered Wolves 3-0 at Elland Road on Saturday, and Carragher loved the aggressive nature of the performance to bat away any nerves or pressure in LS11.

Jamie Carragher wowed by Leeds United footage

Carragher was impressed with footage of how Leeds pressed Wolves, saying they simply bullied the now-relegated Premier League side.

Speaking live on Monday Night Football, the former Liverpool defender loves how the narrative has changed around Leeds and the survival fight.

“They went right after Wolves,” Carragher said.

“The thing I love about it, let’s not forget, before these two games, we were talking about Leeds being right in it, in terms of the relegation fight.

“How they’ve dealt with the pressure and the tension in these last two games has been absolutely fantastic.

“To go hard, and go really, really fast, be really aggressive.”

Busy schedule is firing Leeds United to safety

Many thought the FA Cup could be a distraction to Leeds and Farke, but it has been the complete opposite at Elland Road.

While somewhat rotating his squad, the German has led his side to a Wembley semi-final for the first time in decades, while pulling off sensational results like the one at Old Trafford.

Despite losing Joe Rodon and Anton Stach in the quarter-finals at West Ham, Leeds have been incredible since, with the likes of Ao Tanaka stepping up in midfield.

The momentum of playing every week, rather than missing three weeks of action, has helped the Whites tremendously, with West Ham themselves looking rusty on Monday against Crystal Palace.

Now, all eyes are on the trip to Bournemouth on Wednesday, before that huge semi-final against Chelsea days later, with Leeds confident of two wins no matter who they face.
