Boss Daniel Farke has said he is “100% convinced” that Leeds United will play in the Premier League next season, despite missing the chance to go back to the top of the Championship.
Zan Vipotnik’s 96th-minute equaliser earned Swansea City a point from a 2-2 draw at Elland Road, leaving Leeds two points behind Sheffield United, who took over as leaders after beating Coventry 3-1 on Friday.
Leeds were five points clear of the Blades after winning at Bramall Lane late last month.
But after collecting only six points in five games since, Farke’s side now find themselves second, only ahead of third-placed Burnley on goal difference.
“We have gone many, many steps and right now it’s the final step. That’s always the most difficult,” he said.
“There’s never a guarantee of success but we have been in this situation before.
“I know how tricky it sometimes is to lead from the front but also what is necessary to bring it over the line and we will try everything to make sure the lads have the best chance to make the final step.
“If you ask me right now, I’m 100% convinced that next season we will play in the Premier League.”
