Neil Redfearn remained cool on the prospects of being the next Leeds manager after his first game as caretaker ended in a 3-0 win at nine-man Bristol City.

The home side had defender James Wilson and winger Yannick Bolasie sent off, while goals from Robert Snodgrass, Ross McCormack and Lucciano Becchio made it a day to remember for Redfearn, who described at as "an honour" to be in charge of a Leeds team.

The former Barnsley and Charlton midfielder said: "I feel I'm capable of doing the manager's job and have the necessary experience in the game.

"But the decision will be made from above and I'm not stupid. I realise some big names are being linked with the vacancy.

"I will just keep doing the job the board have asked of me and if I'm teeing things up for someone else to take charge then so be it.

"For now I'm just delighted to have helped the players get a great result and rebuild some confidence."
