Leeds boss Marsch happy with FA Cup win Accrington

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch was pleased with their 3-1 win at FA Cup opponents Accrington Stanley.

Jack Harrison, Junior Firpo and Luis Sinisterra scored for the victory.

Marsch said: "Yeah, I think in general I was pleased that the mentality was that we knew it wasn't going to be easy, we knew there was going to be a lot of long throw-ins and balls in the box and hectic moments, but we handled it we weren't displeased with the fact that it was an ugly game at times.

"We just knew we had to do what we wanted to do to take care of business. So we did that and now we're able to move on.

"I thought for Luis, Patrick and Georgi in general, never playing together, that they were pretty good and some attacking moments. I thought even the first goal where they kind of put a few things together that led to Jack having a wonderful strike. They looked like they understood their roles, Georgi for sure. He was dangerous in some of the transition moments and a little bit unlucky not to come away the goal."
