'Big' cup win for Leeds will boost Premier League chances
- Published
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says the Leeds players will be "buzzing" after their FA Cup quarter-final win at West Ham so it should give them an added boost for the Premier League run-in.
Reflecting on one of the most dramatic cup games of the weekend, Sutton praised the "big" victory for Daniel Farke's men and "the way they got over the line" against relegation threatened West Ham.
"There's a really nice balance about them this season," said Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "I mean that in the way that they defend as well as having their players at the top of the pitch who score and make a difference.
"Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been key to that.
"They are four points clear of West Ham so if you are looking at the table as a player then you are thinking 'we are nearly there'.
"But for West Ham, the pressure is really on."
