Daniel Farke: It’s a really good point for us | OneFootball

Leeds United earned a point at Villa Park from their latest Premier League outing, in a 1-1 draw against high-flying Aston Villa.

Anton Stach’s stunning free-kick in the first half was cancelled out by Tammy Abraham’s close range effort late in the second, meaning the points were shared.

Speaking about the game after the full-time whistle, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts to the media.

“You travel away as a newly promoted side here against one of the title contenders, one of the best teams in this country and also in Europe, and you are slightly disappointed with just one point,” the manager reflected.

“I have to say my warriors today deserve all the praise and lots of compliments, it's a really good point for us and another top away performance.

“We came so close really to win all three, but after a moment of disappointment, you have to say it's another really good point, also I think well deserved point.”

Having just returned to the team following a recent injury, the manager was then asked about Stach’s goal and his overall performance in midfield.

Farke said: “He is a key player for us, so he has a perfect balance out of defensive skills, out of physical skills, of giving us the defensive edge, but also to inspire our offensive game.

“And in addition to that, he has also unbelievable quality in taking set pieces, so in free kicks, corner kicks. And of course, it was an unbelievable goal out of this distance and just a few steps.”
