Leeds United ran out 4-0 winners over Hull City at the weekend

Peterborough Manager Darren Ferguson looks on  during the FA Cup Second Round match between Peterborough and Dover at Weston Homes Stadium on December 01, 2019 in Peterborough, England.

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson has said to his side’s official account on Youtube that he wants his team to emulate Leeds United.

Leeds won 4-0 on Saturday, as the dismantled a struggling Hull side.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men went in front early on and they never took their foot off the gas.

Leeds were ruthless in the latter stages, as they racked up a heavy scoreline.

And Ferguson has suggested that his Peterborough side, who let a lead slip against Burton Albion, need to be more like Leeds.

“I’ve said to the players if you go ahead, you need to get another goal,” he said.

“If you go one goal ahead you want to go and bury them, that’s what teams that get promoted will do. I watched the game this morning and Leeds just went a buried Hull, that’s what I need.”

Leeds have now built up a five point advantage over third placed Fulham in the Championship standings, with just 10 games left to play this season.
