Dougie Freedman spoke to the official Leeds website about his 96th minute goal for the Whites in the first leg of the League One play-off semi-final at Elland Road tonight :


"It turned the tie on its head and at 2-1 gives us a lifeline. We do finish very strongly. We've shown that in the last eight or nine games we've a never say die attitude. Having said that, I thought we performed well throughout, but it's that attitude that has kept us in it. Credit to Carlisle, they played well, passed it, and gave us a good game. It's 2-1 though and it's game on.

"It'll be an atmosphere where they expect to be favourites to go to Wembley. We'll go a goal behind, try and attack and hopefully win the game. It showed the belief we have, and the manager (Gary McAllister) said the attitude was there again. I enjoyed it on Monday. You want to play in front of big crowds in big games and there's no game bigger than Thursday night."
