Leeds United ‘disgrace’ verdict shared by Ben Foster after what he saw vs Man United
Leeds United continued their unbeaten run in the Premier League as they drew 1-1 with Manchester United on Sunday.
Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring for Leeds just after the hour mark, catching Ayden Heaven napping and slotting the ball past Senne Lammens.
Matheus Cunha levelled the contest moments later, and neither side could find a winner in the time that remained.
Despite the Red Devils coming from behind to save a point, Ruben Amorim was dismissed by Man United on Monday.
Leeds are far too good to be relegated
Daniel Farke was in real sack danger himself at the end of November, but unlike Amorim, he has managed to turn the situation around.
Leeds have now gone seven games without defeat in the Premier League, picking up 11 points in that time and moving away from the relegation zone.
The Whites are now in a superb position to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
Former West Brom and Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster believes that Leeds are far too good to go down on the basis of what he saw against Man United.
Speaking on the Football Fill-In, Foster said: “Do we think Leeds are going to be alright this season?
“Because, watching that game [against Man United], they are going to be more than alright. If they get dragged into a relegation fight from here, then it’s a disgrace, it really is, because they are way too good to get relegated.
“If they can get a couple of wins in the next month, I would say they are virtually there.”
How has Daniel Farke completed Leeds turnaround?
Before Leeds beat Chelsea 3-1 at Elland Road in their first game of December, the Whites had lost four Premier League games in a row and were being cut adrift of safety.
However, Farke’s switch to a five-at-the-back system has sparked a complete turnaround.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has looked like a different player in a front two, and Leeds have also tightened up in defence.
Farke’s side have only conceded four goals in their last five games, even without the injured Joe Rodon to call upon in their last two outings.
If they keep up this form for the rest of the season, the Whites will be comfortably in mid-table come May.
