Leeds United manager Daniel Farke spoke to the media following Friday’s fine victory over Leicester City.

The Whites produced a great performance at the King Power Stadium to record a one-nil victory over the league leaders.

The result moved Leeds closer to the automatic promotion spots in the division and the Leeds boss gave his verdict on the result.

“I think to be brave, to play football with courage and to go for it with confidence was the key today.

“Leicester are such a good footballing side, possession side, they have so far one of the best starts in history of the Championship, unbeaten in months, terrific performances, so when you want to get something in such a game you have to be brave.

“You have to make sure that you have periods in the game where you bring the game to their half, press them really high with bravery, then you’re good in possession also, with your possession obviously you can’t have the spirit over 90 minutes, also periods when you have to be structured and allow them possession in areas where they can’t hurt you.

“This was the key today and for that I have to praise my lads for this complex performance.”

Farke also had praise for striker Georginio, who scored the match winning goal in the 58th minute.

“I am delighted for him because he is working so hard for us.

“He’s great in his linking of the play and creating moments for teammates, with assists and the only thing we spoke about that he can improve is his goal tally.

“He scores and this right now is also like a typical strikers goal to be there for the rebound, I am pretty delighted for him.

“It’s crucial to be there with a decisive goal, sometimes it is easy to score the 6-1 or 7-1, but to be there with the 1-0 is decisive goal and a sign of quality.

“I am delighted for him and he’s definitely on the right path.”

Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier produced also produced a match-winning save in stoppage time and the boss spoke about his shot stopper.

“He can be any goalkeeper at one point, he’s still unbelievably young.

“He is also crucial for six clean sheets, shown a really good defensive behaviour and also for our build up.

“When you have a diamond like him you have to back him and if he produces a performance like this we are on the right path.

“He’s still not completely playing without a mistake, the last home game was probably not his best one, but if I judge his games so far I think he is excellent and the best goalkeeper in the league.”
