'I want to celebrate, I'm not a robot' - Farke

Daniel Farke will miss Monday's meeting between the Championship's top two as a result of being cautioned three times this season

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has questioned the sense of his suspension for being cautioned in the dramatic last-gasp victory over Sunderland in midweek.

Substitute Pascal Struijk's 95th-minute winner completed a thrilling comeback win against their Championship promotion rivals at Elland Road.

But Farke was shown a yellow card by referee Stuart Attwell, his third of the season, in the bedlam that followed - which means an automatic one-game ban.

The suspension means the German will miss the mouthwatering game against second-placed Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Monday.

"I overstepped the rules and was outside my coaching zone for six seconds," Farke told BBC Radio Leeds in a thinly veiled dig at the rules.

Farke said he can understand if a player is cautioned for a "nasty, aggressive tackle" or by "trying to create a tactical advantage by a tactical foul". But he questioned the wisdom of punishing someone for celebrating a goal.

Victory over the Blades would take Leeds five points clear at the top of the Championship and, potentially, as many as 10 points clear of third place - but Farke will have to watch the match from the stands.

"My lads are to blame because they just score too many goals," he added. "What should I do?

"Although the fire is burning and I try to channel my fire as much as possible, the lads are so brilliant and score so many goals that there are sometimes moments when I can't channel my emotions.

"If there is a late goal in the 95th minute, then even I want to celebrate.

"I am not a robot. I am just a human being, and sometimes the fire is still burning. If someone thinks I deserve a yellow card, I have to accept it. I will try not to celebrate at all next time.

"I won't ask my lads to score less goals. There are some times when I cannot control my emotions.

"It is difficult to say 'don't celebrate at all', but it is what it is, and we will find solutions."
