Despite Leeds United leading 3-0 at the break against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, defenders Joe Rodon and Junior Firpo had a heated exchange as the players headed for the changing room, something which Whites boss Daniel Farke said he liked to see.

"So long as it is not over the line or disrespectful, I like it. It’s something we have been working on," Farke told BBC Radio Leeds.

"We are not addicted to results, it’s about habits and our principles, and when we are not there 100% I want us to be unhappy.

"It’s a good sign. Mature players who could have been happy as defensive players with a clean sheet but they were not happy as even a small detail was not perfect.

"It’s also the right of our more mature and experienced players, both of them are leaders within our group, to discuss and in the sense of the team bring our focus forward – yes, I like it."
