Leeds United face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday lunchtime at Elland Road, in game number 35 of the Sky Bet Championship season.

The Whites came into the match on the back of impressive victories against Sunderland and Sheffield United, which saw both matches won in dramatic fashion right at the end.

After finding the back of the net in style at Bramall Lane, our top-scorer Joel Piroe chatted with LUTV.

“When you see that we scored the goals and look at them, how they were as well, it's just a beautiful sight to see. You feel like you celebrate even more with them as well,” Piroe stated, after seeing the fans celebrate in South Yorkshire.

“It shows that we can beat anyone. We have to stay on it and make sure that we just carry this momentum on as well.

“It's just very important to keep believing in what we're doing here as well. Even if we have a setback, an early goal or a goal that we concede, that we just keep on going, that we have to trust each other.”

Onto the game itself this weekend, the Baggies will come to West Yorkshire looking for points in their own push for promotion, sitting fifth in the league standings.

Piroe said: “I think it's very important to take the confidence from the games that we had.

“Don't turn it into arrogance, but at the same time, don't look up or look down to any team. As I said, we just have to keep the trust in our process and just carry on.

“I think it's a good sign that everyone wants to be part of it as well. It doesn't matter if you're a starter or if you get subbed on, or even unused subs.

“You have seen how happy we are and how united we all are to celebrate every goal after the game. I think those are good signs that we just need to keep carrying on as well.

“We have to keep our foot on the gas and just keep on going.”
