Diego Llorente has called Leeds United's recent Premier League campaign "very demanding" after the Whites managed to secure survival on the final day of the season. A 2-1 win over Brentford coupled with Newcastle United's win over Burnley saw Leeds survive on the final day to secure them another season in the Premier League.
Llorente played a key role in helping Leeds save their season in their penultimate game against Brighton & Hove Albion. Jesse Marsch's side needed a positive result against the Seagulls in order to climb out of the bottom three. Burnley, their relegations rivals still had a game in hand over the Whites which meant points were at a premium.
With time running out, Llorente showed supreme composure to clip a ball into the path of striker Joe Gelhardt in stoppage time. The forward then produced a supreme bit of skill to jink past Brighton defender Lewis Dunk to deliver a cross into the path of Pascal Struijk who converted the easiest of back post headers.
