Derby 1-3 Leeds: What Farke and Gnonto said
- Published
Leeds manager Daniel Farke speaking to TNT Sports after beating Derby County 3-1 in the FA Cup: "Many compliments to the lads, back to the winning ways because we know how difficult this was. It's always difficult when you miss so many chances like we did, you could easily loose these games.
"We were mature, disciplined and professional in this game and we were able to turn this game into something we deserved.
"Once we adapted after 20-minutes we were the better side. We missed in the first half an unbelievable amount of opportunities. At half-time the message was don't get nervous, the goals are coming, stay on it and stay disciplined.
"We needed to switch on more in our own box because one little detail can be costly in this situation, but also, not to allow any counter attacks and to keep going."
Player of the match Will Gnonto, also spoke to TNT Sport: "I am really pleased, it was a tough game and we knew it was going to be tough coming here. I am happy with the win and happy with my performance.
"We want to dream and take our chances game by game, so hopefully we are going to for something big.
"I think it's a good reminder of what the Championship can be. It was tough.
"I am happy for the finish, we train every day and it was a result of what we work on. I am confident in the position."
