Leeds United winger Jack Harrison spoke to the media following Saturday’s Premier League victory against Watford.
The 25-year-old netted his third goal in as many games at Vicarage Road, helping the Whites record a 3-0 win.
Harrison was delighted Leeds were able to secure all three points on the road, with Jesse Marsch’s side now nine points clear of the relegation zone.
“We knew how crucial it was coming into the game,” said Harrison.
“We’d been training hard and preparing well all week in the build up and we were ready for a big game.
“It was a tough game in the first half, but when it opened up in the second, we were good enough to get the result.
“Jesse has made a big point on scoring the first goal and how crucial it is for any team and the stats show that.
“We were really pushing in the first half to get that first goal, we knew they needed points as well, so they would come after us, but we did everything we did to score first.
“When everything was on the line in a game like that it can be hard to remain composed and reduce the amount of errors, it was a tough game for both sides, but thankfully we came out on top.
“For us as a team it’s important to remain composed, control what we can control and take it game by game.
“Since Jesse has arrived we’ve been doing that and the results have come with our performances as well.
“It’s a crucial point in the season, we are doing well and are hoping to finish the season strong.”
