Daniel Farke: We made it difficult for them

Boss reflects on draw with Newcastle.

Daniel Farke vs NUFC

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke was impressed with his side after they earned a deserved point against Newcastle United at Elland Road.

The Whites now head into the international break with four points taken from their opening three matches back in the top-flight, leaving the boss happy with his team’s display.

“I am pleased not just with this game today but overall with in general the start of the season,” the German told the press. “Especially in the home games, two games, four points and two clean sheets.

“We played today against one of the best sides in the UK, who have dominated on Monday with 11 men and later with 10 men against Liverpool, and we made it difficult for them.

“There was not much between the two teams. I think in the end a well-deserved point for both sides. I think we had probably the better first half, they were a bit more dominant in possession in the second half.

“We had probably the best chances in the game, especially in the second half, we were not far away from gaining all three points.

“One point against such a good Newcastle side, also under these circumstances, without Ethan, without Ao, then to show this type of competitive performance, to give hardly a chance away and to look also dangerous makes me pretty happy today.

“Now we have to be a bit more effective and so I am pretty happy with our approach and also how we are capable against top sides to dominate the game at times.”
