Jack Harrison's final day winner summed up Leeds United belief that won vital points throughout the season

In a season filled with dramatic moments, Leeds United saved one more for the final day as Jack Harrison scored a stoppage time winner against Brentford as the Whites secured their Premier League status for a third season. In the end, the goal wasn't necessary to their survival, as Burnley lost to Newcastle, meaning a point would have kept Leeds up.

However, the goal meant that Leeds took three points instead of one, finishing on 38 points for the season. 11 of those points were secured in stoppage time, with the season's final two games both including result altering goals. There were winners against Crystal Palace, Norwich, and Wolves before Harrison's winner against Brentford.

There were stoppage time goals scored under both managers Leeds have had this season, and the fitness levels Marcelo Bielsa demanded of his players is highly likely to have played a part in their ability to keep going until the final moments. Also, since Jesse Marsch has taken over as manager, the American has regularly spoken about the fighting qualities and the belief in the group being the reason why he had faith that the Whites could remain in the Premier League.
