'We had enough chances to win' - Farke

Daniel Farke was magnanimous in defeat after Leeds went down 1-0 at Portsmouth to stay top of the Championship on goal difference alone.

Colby Bishop's clinical angled finish over Illan Meslier proved the difference, just after the hour, though Blues keeper Nicolas Schmid had to make a string of vital saves in both halves to keep the visitors at bay.

Joel Piroe and Dan James also spurned fine chances and Junior Firpo hit the bar with a header as Leeds' 17-game unbeaten league run came to an end.

"First of all I want to say congratulations to Portsmouth for an important game and win for them," Farke told BBC Radio Leeds.

"Of course I'm disappointed with the outcome and the loss, I was fully aware that this would be one of the toughest, if not the toughest game, in our run-in.

"They are in red-hot form at home and we expected how they played, physical, direct and aggressive.

"We coped with many situations really well but we have created so many good chances in this game and you just have to put them to bed."
