Leeds manager Jesse Marsch hailed his players’ “character” as they retained their place in the Premier League by the skin of their teeth rounding off their campaign with a last gasp 2-1 win over Brentford on Sunday. Leeds had started the final day of the season in the bottom three but it was Burnley, who went down instead of them after their six season stay in the Premier League came to an end with a 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle. Burnley had only needed to match Leeds’s result to stay up due to a far better goal difference. The victory meant Leeds had become the first side since Wigan in 2011 to survive after starting the final day in the bottom three.Ten Hag presented as the new Man United manager: The club has a great history and let’s make a futureLeeds had gone into the match hardly brimming with confidence having accrued just two points from the last 15. Their nerves and those of their travelling fans were on edge when Sergi Canos drew Brentford level — Rapinha had given the visitors the lead with a penalty — with 12 minutes remaining. However, Canos was sent off two minutes later for a second bookable offence reducing the hosts to nine men — the injured Kristoffer Ajer had to go off 13 minutes from time when his side had already used their three substitutions.Conte’s final plan for the transfer window – eight new players for 100 million poundsJack Harrison then sent the Leeds fans into raptures as he rifled home a fine effort in the fourth minute of time added on — 15 of their total haul of 38 points have come thanks to goals in the 90th minute or time added on. Whilst the players jumped on top of Harrison, Marsch fell flat on his back in delight in the technical area. “This group has been able to dig deep in injury time and find goals and the character is clear and it’s a privilege to work with these guys” he told Sky Sports.
