Leeds fullback Luke Ayling says new manager Sam Allardyce has lifted the atmosphere at the club.

Ayling says the players were encouraged after yesterday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

He told BT Sport: "The place lifts as soon as he walks in. Hopefully we can kick on from here, a club like this should be in the Premier League. We have two games to do that.

"We played well last week against Man City, we got beaten 2-1 by the best team in the world. We've come out here against a team in form and grind out a 2-2 result.

"Now, we've got to make sure we carry this on next week."
