Fire in the heart but cool in the head - Farke

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was pleased with the "balance" his team showed in their play in the 2-1 win over Preston.

The victory sent Leeds back to the top of the table with four games to go.

"It feels pretty good after an exhausting week with three difficult games. It was a priceless three points for us," he told BBC Radio Leeds:

"It was a really good performance and we could have made life easier by taking a few of our chances, it must have been one of our highest expected goals of the season. We should have scored six or seven.

"If you don't score the third goal and miss this crazy amount of chances then you always need to stay switched on because Preston played with freedom. It was crucial that we returned to our best behaviour against the ball.

"I didn't know the scoreline at Plymouth but you sense the reaction of the supporters. I wanted to make sure that we stayed focused and not thinking about what happened on other pitches.

"I like the balance because we played with fire in the heart but cool in the head."
