Leeds United defeated Middlesbrough at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, making it seven wins in a row on home turf.

The Whites had to battle from behind for a second game in a week, after the visitors took a third minute lead.

However, first half goals in response from Dan James, Crysencio Summerville and Joel Piroe ensured another three points for Daniel Farke’s side, who gave his thoughts on the game at full-time.

“I expected a tough game for us and couldn't be happier and prouder of my boys today,” the manager explained.

“It was a third game in eight days against a really good side, Middlesbrough.

“They had a fantastic spell during the season and I judge them as one of the main competitors for the top six positions.

“It’s a really good side and it was important today to be brave, to press with intensity and perhaps even be a bit over aggressive and emotional instead of being too relaxed.

“It's always important you're fully committed off the ball, against Boro, or you are punished and they’ve proved this, this season.

“We showed this in the first half, we created so many good situations and moments.

“It was a wild game in the first half and probably every football fan must have enjoyed this game.

“I’m a football fan as well, so I loved what we did, but as a manager I liked the second half when we calmed everything down.

“Overall, good game management in the second half for me and a priceless three points, against a very good opponent.”
