00:00Leeds United have claimed the championship title with a 2-1 win away at Plymouth on the final day.
00:05Daniel Farker gave his thoughts.
00:07I'm so, so done, but also so, so proud of the boys, of the whole stuff, of the whole club, of our supporters.
00:15The 100 points to win the league also in this way.
00:19Again, many resilience also on the way even today.
00:23And to have this belief in the crunch time period of the season to be there with our best performances, with our best results.
00:31Also in the crunch time period of the last game day to be there.
00:34So we want to get rid of this old brand.
00:37And our Leeds is falling apart when it comes down.
00:39Now we can right now sing this song pretty, pretty proud and know, okay, when it really counts.
00:44And we have this winning mentality.
00:46I'm so, so proud of the Leeds.
00:47First half looked a bit like we have celebrated too much.
00:50We didn't move the ball quick enough.
00:51Had already a few chances anyhow, but I think we're not at our best.
00:56A bit understandable after an amazing performance in last week's.
00:59And then was difficult in the second half.
01:01So of course Plymouth wanted to take also a good last game day into next season.
01:07They've won three out of their last four.
01:08It was difficult, but we always believed in it and believed in the group.
01:12And a stoppage time winner from Anthony Sorsevic for Bradford City claimed their place in League One for next season.
01:19Graham Alexander gave his thoughts following the game.
01:22I'm so happy for absolutely everybody that's connected to this football club.
01:27The players have been immense.
01:29The staff members support us.
01:32The family supporting the players and staff.
01:34The people above me, the support I've had at real difficult moments.
01:40It's all been there.
01:41Everyone has pulled together for this moment, for this week.
01:44So let's enjoy it.
01:45Let's not just make it a night.
01:46Let's have it a week.
01:48And let's pay our respects to the 56 next week in style because it's a big year for the club.
01:53And I'm so glad we didn't let anyone down.
01:57It's going to take a little bit of a while to sink in because it was such a grind of a game.
02:02I think we had some good moments.
02:04I think Sam made the save in the first half.
02:06But we deserve it.
02:07We deserve to win the game today.
02:08We deserve to win promotion because the league doesn't like the challenges we face this season.
02:12It's been unreal.
