Brian McDermott relieved by Leeds Rhinos win

McDermott relieved by Leeds Rhinos win

Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott has expressed his relief following the team's last-gasp win at Catalans Dragons in Super League.

The Rhinos looked to be heading for defeat on Sunday before Liam Sutcliffe's penalty at the death earned them a 32-31 victory.

The dramatic triumph has seen Leeds move to within one point of leaders St Helens.

"I'm not happy at conceding 31 points, but we were playing a very good Catalan team," McDermott told BBC Sport. "I'm comfortable with the win.

"We scored more tries than them and, while we weren't great and while I had resigned myself to the loss and we feel fortunate to have won, I'm not ashamed either."

Leeds continue their Super League campaign on Friday with a trip to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
