Daniel Farke live news conference | OneFootball

Leeds United extended their unbeaten start with a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Jayden Bogle ended their AMEX drought dating to 2011 with a first-half finish, before the hosts equalised from a second-half corner.

According to Leeds Live, Daniel Farke called it a really good point after going so long without taking anything here, though he felt more was possible. He said Leeds should have been out of sight at half-time, citing chances for Stach and Ao Tanaka.

He praised his players for digging in after those misses in a difficult away game, and noted they created late opportunities to win it.

Comparing their approach to last season, Farke said Leeds pressed on the front foot and looked more settled in their processes, restricting Brighton. Explaining his selection, he avoided fielding three aerial centre-backs, prioritising intensity in the press and clear footballing solutions. He highlighted Tanaka’s bravery on the ball and referenced his excellent cup display.

On the unbeaten run and Trafford, Farke said five points are massive and have lifted his defence, giving assurance about what is behind them. He added that this confidence also sends a message to opponents.

Leeds visit Chelsea in the League Cup at Stamford Bridge in midweek, then host Newcastle United at Elland Road the following Monday.
