Daniel James: The team is in a great place | OneFootball

Leeds United came from behind to secure a valuable point at home to Brentford, after Dominic Calvert-Lewin pounced to fire home at close range in the second half.

With the Whites a goal down following a first half strike from the visitors, manager Daniel Farke turned to his bench and a combination of substitutes Daniel James and Lukas Nmecha helped to create the leveller.

Speaking to the media after the game, James gave his thoughts on the point in the rain at Elland Road.

“I think in the first half they were definitely the better team, I think we were a yard off there,” the winger began.

“But we came out second half and showed what we should have from the start, really. We were on top, obviously got the goal quite late.

“I think Lukas [Nmecha] has read the situation well and he's pulled it back to Dom [Calvert-Lewin] and, you know, Dom is always in that position to score, you’ve just got to put it in there!

“I think from then on it was kind of only one team that was going to score the next goal, but unfortunately we couldn't do that.

“The team is in a great place. We had a full squad out today, I think. I’m feeling really good, feeling good personally. I just want to give everything to this team when I do get my chance.

“I think for me in pre-season it was just about coming in in a great place, getting through pre-season, and, you know, I feel fit and confident as ever."
