Aaronson: Half-time team talk was big factor in vital Hammers victory

Whites ace Brenden Aaronson has made a vow for next weekend's trip to Brighton - armed with words from Daniel Farke to sort a pressing Leeds United issue.

Leeds approached Friday night's hosting of West Ham following back-to-back defeats and earlier denied more points by the concession of late goals in a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth and 1-0 defeat at Fulham.

Farke's Whites were heading for all three points in last month's hosting of high-flying Bournemouth as they led 2-1 heading into second-half stoppage time only for Eli Kroupi to net a 93rd-minute equaliser which snatched a 2-2 draw.

For Leeds, three points became one, and Aaronson says boss Farke had specific instructions for his players aimed at preventing such a slip from happening again.

That was put firmly to the test in Friday night's clash against the Hammers as goals from Aaronson and Joe Rodon put Leeds 2-0 up at the break and again heading for all three points.
