Daniel Farke could not help but ruefully shake his head on the touchline.

The Leeds United manager has seen a lot in the game, but this? This was something else.

This was just the sixth time a side had taken the lead three times in a Premier League match only to lose.

But Farke was understandably "proud" of his players at full-time.

The visitors will take so much from this showing at one of the Premier League's fortresses.

They will also take so much from a remarkable unbeaten run.

Leeds, supposedly a newly-promoted outfit, went seven games undefeated in the Premier League.

They got results against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Sunderland during that run.

Leeds remain eight points clear of the relegation zone and, on recent evidence, they look like a side who are here to stay in the top flight.
