Leeds United rounded off 2025/26 Premier League action on the Elland Road turf with a late win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the hero as he found the back of the net deep into stoppage time.
Following his calm finish after a battling performance in the penultimate game of the season, the centre-forward said: "I think for everyone involved, all our families are here as you do on the last home game, a great afternoon.
"They are a possession side and they had loads of the ball but the pitch, it was just quite a sunny afternoon, so it dried up a little bit. I think that helped me because I kind of stopped the ball and I smelt it and just got after it, and thankfully was able to put it in the net.
"It is not going to be every game where you are on top and you are smashing teams. Sometimes football is like that and you hang in there and you just keep believing that you're going to get the next one.
"The objective was always to finish as high up the table as possible and it is no different just because we are now mathematically staying in the division.
"I think that is kind of our character, our belief system, and our values in the group and you have seen it out there today."
On representing the Whites this season, Calvert-Lewin added: "I have loved it. I have loved every minute, honestly.
"So, so, so grateful to have the opportunity to play for this club and play in front of these fans and I am glad that I was able to repay them with my performances and goals ultimately this season."
