Leeds 2-2 Bournemouth: What Farke said
- Published
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke spoke to BBC Sport after the draw with Bournemouth: "Of course I'm disappointed because we had a really good game, with a really good performance, against a strong opponent. We deserved to win this game. We had way more expected goals and shots. We had big chances.
"We gave away two set-pieces and they scored both. They didn't have a chance out of the game, so it shows small details can be punished. It feels a bit heartbreaking but I'm proud of the performance.
"We can't outperform our opponents when you see their quality. Organisation, physicality and a big team spirit is what we need. Their team reduced us to so little chances but they are a proven Premier League side and they were effective today.
"[Sean] Longstaff was outstanding. His workload, his calmness and his composure.
"[Dominic] Calvert-Lewin put in an outstanding performance for his team - a 'man of the match' performance. He showed himself in great shape and fitness level. The only pity is he had so many good chances. On another day, he scores two or three."
