Christiansen wants Leeds back in the top flight

Former giants Leeds appear to be on the up again following their pace-setting start to the Championship campaign, and their Carabao Cup win against Premier League side Burnley.

Manager Thomas Christiansen hopes that his side can use the victory as the basis for a promotion push, as his side won 5-3 on penalties against 'The Clarets'.

"Before I came here I knew about Leeds, I've followed English football since I was a kid and I knew Leeds were a big team," said Christiansen.

"They are a team who should be in the Premier League. This is what we are going to work on, day by day, one game at a time. We'll do our best to achieve that this season.

"This was a tough game, 120 minutes of high intensity, and a very good opponent from the Premier League who have been doing well. But we came here with the intention to win and to pass to the next round."
