The West Yorkshire club are now on 39 points, seven points above the relegation zone in 15th with five games left to play.
Despite that, Farke warned his players to guard against complacency and insisted that Leeds aren’t out of the woods just yet.
Speaking to reporters after the game, he said: "You have to say it was a relatively comfortable 3-0 win, fully deserved.
“I was a bit nervous before this game, for me a game after such an historical night at Old Trafford is always difficult.
“A home game with rock bottom side in the league, everyone expects it will be a bit easier. They've had more than decent results in recent months.
“I expected this to be a very difficult game. To start that strong was decisive, to be 2-0 up, to stay with the foot on the gas.
“There were one or two nervy moments but we put the right tackle in, a top class save from Karl Darlow. To bury it with the third goal feels quite good. A massive step forward for us."
"I would say during a normal season 39 points are probably enough but we have a special season with teams like Tottenham, which is normally ridiculous, trying to chase us, Nottingham Forest trying to chase us - a team in Europe who spent 150m in the summer.
“We have to play Spurs and West Ham and if you lose it means they get three points. A lot is achieved but nothing is done yet.
“It's a fantastic position to be in but the feeling is we probably need to win one or a few more points, we'll stay focused and want to win one or a few more points as soon as possible to have it mathematically done."
