"I'm really pleased and delighted with the way the game's gone," said Ward.
"You don't want to concede a goal, but you come to Elland Road and that's always a possibility with the way they play, but for us to score twice was great.
"If you had said to me at six o'clock you can have a goal start when you go to Brunton Park on Thursday, I'd have thanked you very much and stayed on the bus.
"But they're two very good teams and by no means do I think this is finished, there's a cracking game ahead on Thursday."
