Farke praises Mowbray's Baggies after second draw

Leeds boss Daniel Farke has a lot of respect for Tony Mowbray's brand of football

If Leeds United go up as Championship winners this season, as expected, there maybe as few as two sides who Daniel Farke's team will have not beaten - and Tony Mowbray can take comfort that, along with third-placed Burnley, one of them is West Bromwich Albion.

After being held to a dreary 0-0 draw at The Hawthorns by Carlos Corberan's Baggies back in August, Mowbray's men more than matched that by drawing 1-1 at Elland Road, having come from a goal down.

Under Farke, Leeds have never lost a league game in which has side scored first - and he had nothing but praise for the way Albion battled back to draw and also come closest to winning it.

"Sometimes you have to settle for a draw," Farke told BBC Radio Leeds.

"We have had to this time against a really good side. West Brom got a foot back into it and you could see it coming.

"Tony Mowbray's sides always go for it. They are always brave and have a lot of quality. We had situations to bury the game but the danger was lurking."

Mowbray himself was satisfied by his side's hardest fought away point of the season. But he also knew how close they had come to an even better result.

"We believe we can win wherever we go," Mowbray told BBC Radio WM. "West Bromwich Albion are a big club.

"We know how good a side they (Leeds) are, but we came to be competitive.

"We possibly gave them a little too much respect early on, but we grew into the game. We could have scored before they did, but we got our rewards in the end."
