Redfearn says Leeds can challenge for promotion

Leeds United caretaker boss Neil Redfearn feels they're capable of promotion after their 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town.

Goals by Rudi Austin, Mirco Antenucci and Souleymane Doukara gave Leeds the bragging rights over Town, although the victory was soured by the 73rd-minute dismissal of right-back Gaetano Berardi, who collected a second yellow card and his second sending-off of the season.

Yet Redfearn did not let that dampen his mood, and said: "This squad can threaten the top six. I've told the players the sky is the limit. We were excellent from first whistle to last.

"Antenucci has been outstanding in our last two games. He has such energy and awareness and his finishing was great. He did really well to keep the ball down when it came to him off the bar from Guiseppe Bellusci's shot.

"Rudi Austin has power and pace. He is excelling because the football we are playing suits his game."

Of his future, Redfearn added: "Whatever happens will happen. I have enjoyed myself and done myself no harm. The club is in a better position than it was."
