Daniel Farke backs Dominic Calvert-Lewin after penalty miss in Leeds draw at Palace | OneFootball

According to Leedsunited.news, Daniel Farke insisted Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s missed penalty did not define his display after Leeds’ 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park, and outlined the striker’s dressing-room mood.

Calvert-Lewin dragged a spot-kick wide that would have given Leeds the lead, with co-commentator Chris Sutton branding the attempt “horrible”.

Farke said the forward was naturally disappointed after the game but stressed that missed penalties are part of football. He referenced Harry Kane and added he was happy with the performance, describing Calvert-Lewin as a crucial part of the side.

Match data underlined his involvement. He contested 22 duels, winning eight, the most contests by any player and fifth most wins, and logged four touches in the box, the fourth highest among those who featured.

His overall penalty record remains strong, with 10 scored and only two missed across his career. Farke maintained his backing, highlighting resilience and mentality as the striker stayed engaged and led the line after the miss.
