Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was frustrated his side slipped to a late defeat on Tyneside against Newcastle United.

Despite scoring three times themselves, the Whites came away empty handed from the trip to the North East as the impressive seven match unbeaten run came to an end.

“First of all, congratulations to Newcastle, many compliments I would say for both sides,” the German told the media after the full-time whistle.

“Both sides have played this game in the manner this game should be played – very passionate, very emotional, very attacking-minded.

“Of course, there were also a few mistakes on both sides, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many goals. This is what both teams have to accept in terms of criticism.

“I have to say that I am more than proud of the performance of my lads, and also the desire and belief and the bravery that we showed here today against a side that was playing on Champions League level.

“Then of course late heartbreak for my lads in the 90th or 91st minute, a handball given and then the last ten minutes was a bit like a basketball game. Of course if it is not a draw, one team was on the unlucky side.”
