Brighton 3-0 Leeds: What Farke said
- Published
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been speaking to Sky Sports about the defeat at Amex Stadium: "Brighton were the better side and deserved to win. You can talk about the 50/50 possession for both teams and about the fact we had more corner kicks, but you have to be honest and say that, out of their possession, they created more chances and were more clinical. For that, they deserved to win.
"As a team and individually, it was not our best game offensively. We weren't able to create more in an away game where we had a lot of possession. We created more corner kicks and wide area free-kicks, but the quality of the deliveries were not great.
"It happens sometimes that the attack doesn't have the best of days. It's frustrating. Sometimes it happens that the other side is just better. It was definitely not our day and we have to accept the defeat."
On facing Nottingham Forest next: "Each and every game delivers an opportunity. There are 38 games and we have to win one point on average each game to stay in this league.
"We have to prepare ourselves in the best possible way, so that will be what we'll try to do away at Nottingham."
