Leeds’ Mateo Joseph speaking on Sky Sports Football:
“Really happy for the team. Good win away. Really happy as we worked hard and well. Was a really good result. We always prepare the games, the pressing and everything. We did it all right and listened to the coach.
“Happy with my performance but not too happy I didn’t score. I will keep training.”
Leeds winger Dan James, to Sky Sports: “The clean sheet was vital. We defended well last week but weren’t quite so good on the ball and didn’t control the game as much.
“Coming into this game, that’s what we wanted to do: score the first goal but also stay composed and keep the ball. There were long throws and balls into the box but we defended well. We’ve got to continue that.”
Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Rohl:
“We played against a strong side. They showed all their quality. We knew this and we wanted to try, the second goal was too easy.
“We were very open, and it was hard. The first conceded goal, they played well but even then we were open/ To take something, you need to do all the basics right.
“It’s about staying compact and not opening the passing line. We have to cover deep and close passing lines. They have quality and then they score.
“It was difficult to press them, Gnonto played unbelievable. It was too easy; it is difficult to take something from such a game.”
Leeds’ Daniel Farke:
“We controlled the game and had many good moments. First goal, really good counter-attack and it was pretty much a perfect away performance.
“I liked how we always overplayed the pressing. You always have to be switched on, they were physical until the end. They had one or two dangerous situations. To be good in counter pressing was good. It was a balanced performance.
“We’ve lost quality, but the young lads stepped up. I don’t like them to press too much. Overall, it was a really good performance but there is more to come!
“We won 90 points so it’s not like I’m over the moon. To repeat this at Championship level is not easy. We desperately need additions, but we have to keep going. Yes, definitely [will add to the squad].”
