Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has taken to Twitter to praise the work being done by Garry Monk at Leeds United.

It’s now three wins in a row and four in the last six games for Leeds, as manager Garry Monk continues to impress in his first season at Elland Road.

With a EFL Cup clash against Liverpool to come up later this month, there is some real momentum being generated at Leeds, and Monk will certainly be hoping that he can be the man to finally take the Whites back to the Premier League.
