Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca believes their 5-2 victory over Cardiff City was very important.

Despite only getting Leeds into the fourth round of the FA Cup, Roca says that winning is a habit.

He stated that by getting that winning feeling back in the team, even if it came against a Championship side, will help as they look to improve their Premier League form.

"Yeah, I thought we played well," Roca explained to LUTV.

"It was a very important game for us, we know that it was an important game we had to win and the team played so well, really good, so we're all very happy.

"It was very clear that we had to get a good start, a quick start, and we did that. Rodrigo did a super chip and Willy's finish was so good and I thought we played the game brilliantly.

"The first half was all us, we went into halftime 3-0 up and it was so good."

He added: "I think at the end of the match, we were looking for a clean sheet because of how important they can be but we played well, it was an important win because we needed to feel that feeling again.

"The feeling that we're allowed to win, win at home here with our happy fans and I think there were a lot of positives [to take away]."
