00:00Leeds United have claimed the championship title with a 2-1 win away at Plymouth on the final day.

00:05Daniel Farker gave his thoughts.

00:07I'm so, so done, but also so, so proud of the boys, of the whole stuff, of the whole club, of our supporters.

00:15The 100 points to win the league also in this way.

00:19Again, many resilience also on the way even today.

00:23And to have this belief in the crunch time period of the season to be there with our best performances, with our best results.

00:31Also in the crunch time period of the last game day to be there.

00:34So we want to get rid of this old brand.

00:37And our Leeds is falling apart when it comes down.

00:39Now we can right now sing this song pretty, pretty proud and know, okay, when it really counts.

00:44And we have this winning mentality.

00:46I'm so, so proud of the Leeds.

00:47First half looked a bit like we have celebrated too much.

00:50We didn't move the ball quick enough.

00:51Had already a few chances anyhow, but I think we're not at our best.

00:56A bit understandable after an amazing performance in last week's.

00:59And then was difficult in the second half.

01:01So of course Plymouth wanted to take also a good last game day into next season.

01:07They've won three out of their last four.

01:08It was difficult, but we always believed in it and believed in the group.

01:12And a stoppage time winner from Anthony Sorsevic for Bradford City claimed their place in League One for next season.

01:19Graham Alexander gave his thoughts following the game.

01:22I'm so happy for absolutely everybody that's connected to this football club.

01:27The players have been immense.

01:29The staff members support us.

01:32The family supporting the players and staff.

01:34The people above me, the support I've had at real difficult moments.

01:40It's all been there.

01:41Everyone has pulled together for this moment, for this week.

01:44So let's enjoy it.

01:45Let's not just make it a night.

01:46Let's have it a week.

01:48And let's pay our respects to the 56 next week in style because it's a big year for the club.

01:53And I'm so glad we didn't let anyone down.

01:57It's going to take a little bit of a while to sink in because it was such a grind of a game.

02:02I think we had some good moments.

02:04I think Sam made the save in the first half.

02:06But we deserve it.

02:07We deserve to win the game today.

02:08We deserve to win promotion because the league doesn't like the challenges we face this season.

02:12It's been unreal.
