'Sometimes this type of game is written in the stars'

Leeds boss Daniel Farke, speaking to Sky Sports after his side's Carabao Cup exit: "Congratulations to Sheffield Wednesday.

"A Premier League side is the favourite and the Championship side is more or less the underdog. It was just this type of football game where we had more than 85% possession.

"Somehow they managed to be one time in our box, and somehow they have scored. Yes, we have simply missed too many chances.

"I have never seen Joel Piroe miss a penalty, but he is the first one that goes and misses. It happens sometimes in football. Sometimes this type of game is written in the stars.

"They're all professional football players and it is not like we played an under-21 side. We were the favourite today, there is no doubt about it, but this happens quite often in a cup game."

On Dominic Calvert-Lewin missing chances and his penalty: "Three chances he had in the game. I am happy he has the chances as he shows his instinct again. For him it is like a little pre-season. He desperately needed minutes today to build up his fitness."
