Charlie Taylor has called on his Leeds United teammates to use Saturday's victory over MK Dons as a springboard to achieve success this season.

The full-back celebrated his 22nd birthday by scoring what proved to be the decisive goal in his side's 2-1 win at Elland Road.

Having now returned to winning ways in the Championship, Taylor is confident that Leeds can push on in the coming weeks in order to climb up the table.

"The game had everything. I was happy to be involved in both the goals and delighted to get on the scoresheet," he is quoted as saying by the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"It was something I wanted to do this season. That's definitely my best goal yet. My other two were only tap-ins. I remember it opening up and thinking 'I'm in the box here'.

"It was a tight angle but I thought I'd have a pop. I caught it sweet and it's gone in. It's a huge three points and it's given everyone the confidence to now kick on."

Taylor is the only player to have featured in every minute of United's season so far.
