Calvert-Lewin insists the work is not done

Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has refused to talk about his hopes of playing at the World Cup with England, insisting work to ensure Premier League his club’s survival was not over despite their 3-1 win Burnley.

Calvert-Lewin bagged Leeds’ third goal of a comfortable win, playing a part in setting up Noah Okafor’s second after Anton Stach had given them the lead in the eighth minute.

Lum Chauna pulled one back for relegated and managerless Burnley, but it was little more than a consolation.

The win moves Leeds nine points clear of the bottom three. Tottenham will need to win at least three of their last four games for Daniel Farke’s men to drop into the relegation zone. Leeds visit Spurs in a week on Monday.

Calvert-Lewin: The work at Leeds is not done

Calvert-Lewin was in England’s final squad for their friendlies against Uruguay and Japan in March and featured in the 1-1 draw with Uruguay.

But he is not yet focused on his World Cup dreams in North America, with his mind firmly set on making sure Leeds, who responded superbly to their FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea last weekend, get over the line and achieve their main goal of the season.

« It feels amazing, » Calvert-Lewin told Sky Sports.

« Coming into the game we wanted to start with a lot of intensity, which I think we did, especially leading up front high up the pitch. We executed the game plan really well. They come here with nothing to lose really, that can be dangerous at times, but I’m happy and proud of how we performed.

« It was disappointing at the weekend not to get the result we were hoping for (against Chelsea) but the mood in the camp was good, totally focused on getting the job done tonight. I think you could see that from the start. »

Asked about his hopes for England, Calvert-Lewin said: « I’ll be honest, it’s not something I expect. Most of my focus has been to make sure we stay in the Premier League. That’s been the number one goal and until that’s mathematically done, our job isn’t done and my job isn’t done.

« A by-product of doing well for your club is getting closer to the national team, so I can just keep scoring goals and performing and the rest will take care of itself. »
