Solomon happy special goal 'finally came in'
Leeds United winger Manor Solomon says his spectacular goal during their 2-1 win against Preston North End at the weekend was particularly "special" after having struggled to execute a curling strike from 20 yards since a long-term injury with former club Tottenham 25-year-old suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in 2023 which kept him sidelined for 11 months."Before my big injury at Tottenham, I used to score many goals like this for Fulham and Shakhtar as well," Solomon told BBC Radio Leeds."But since I came back with the injured leg, I couldn't score this type of goal so I was really happy that it finally came in."The goal helped put Leeds back top of the Championship but as buoyant as Solomon may feel over regaining his ability to curl in a stunning goal, he still feels there is much work to be done before the season draws to a finish."We are really happy but we know we need to stay humble," he said."One month ago, we were already seven points clear from the top spot."We are not done yet, there are still four games to go and we want to win every single game until we secure our promotion."Leeds are ahead of Burnley on goal difference and have a five-point cushion in the automatic promotion places over third-placed Sheffield to the full post-match interview and more on the Don't Go To Bed Yet podcast.

'Farke's set up suits me to the ground'
Leeds United winger Dan James says that boss Daniel Farke's management style has helped him find his good Wales international is enjoying a fine season, scoring 10 goals and making nine assists across his 32 Championship games."When he first come in, he put his arm around me and said what he wanted from me," James told BBC Radio Leeds."We had a good relationship from the start and it's one I've tried to continue with."The way he sets up the team suits me down to the ground and that's where I get the benefits from."His 10 goals make him the first Welsh player to make it to double digits in a single season for Leeds since John James is quick to shirk off any comparisons to the Wales legend."It's always an honour to be put in a category like that. I think I'm a long way off to be put in the same bracket as him," James said."Things like that I try not to get too high off. We've got eight important games left and we are still at a stage where we haven't done it yet."You can listen to the full interview and more on the Don't Go To Bed Yet podcast.
