Paul Merson praised Leeds United for their impressive 3-0 win against Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.
Daniel Farke’s side traveled to Wales knowing they had to win at the Cardiff City Stadium to stay in touch with the top three following Southmapton’s 4-0 victory.
They wasted no time as Patrick Bamford gave them an early lead after just 13 minutes and Daniel James doubled their lead before the break.
Geroginio Rutter then sealed a 3-0 victory for his team in the 88th minute, as Leeds currently remain four points behind Southampton with Ipswich Town playing Sunderland late in the game.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, Merson praised the overall performance of Farke’s team and singled out three players in particular who impressed him.
“I was very impressed with Leeds, very professional,” he said via the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“Chasing Southampton is going to be a battle to the end, chasing Southampton, but I was really impressed with Leeds United.
“Kamara in midfield ran the show, both wingers Summerville and James, very well.”
The German manager will now turn his attention to next weekend, when his team will host Preston at Elland Road before facing Norwich City just three days later.
