LEEDS boss Daniel Farke insisted his side will enjoy the promotion party before -thinking about how they can survive in the Premier League after clinching their return in emphatic fashion.

Joel Piroe scored four in a 6-0 thrashing of Stoke City at Elland Road before Burnley's victory over Sheffield United confirmed Leeds' promotion back to the top-flight after a two-year absence.

Farke said: "First of all, just happy - don't scare me with the Premier League because all of the teams who went up last season are already nearly confirmed as relegated.

"In the last 25 years for this club there was just one promotion to the Premier League.

"It's so difficult to work for such an emotional club - but we've done it. This first step is always difficult.
