Daniel Farke gave his post-match reactions to Leeds United getting a point away from home against Brighton. The result will not be one that goes down well with the travelling support.
The Whites took the lead in the first half of the game, with Jayden Bogle pouncing on a cutback in the box.
Leeds had an early lead and did well to control the game for most of the first half, but things went poorly in the second period. Brighton got into the game and Daniel Farke’s side had no answer.
The pressure resulted in an equalizer after 71 minutes.
Farke’s side were able to hold on for the final 20 minutes to take a point on the road.

The result on Saturday means that Leeds United are unbeaten in their last three games against the Seagulls.
But fans will be furious after the team failed to take their chances in front of goal.
They could have scored more than one goal, but fluffed their lines while the home side capitalized. After the game, Daniel Farke addressed the result, pointing out his side’s poor finishing but admitted he was okay with the result.
“It’s a good point on the road. It’s a tough place to come so it’s a good point because Brighton are a good team. But we had a chances to win it. Normally if you miss so many chances in an away game, you come away with no points so I’m happy to have a point in our hands.
“It’s a very good start for us – two difficult away games. It can always be better but overall it’s a good start and we are happy with it.”
Leeds have lost just one Premier League game away from home since January.

Leeds boss is to blame for the result
The game was going very well for the visitors after they took the lead.
They had some control over the flow of the match for the first period. But just 15 minutes into the second half, Farke pulled Noah Okafor and Jayden Bogle, opting for Jaka Bijol and Brenden Aaronson.
This took the sharpness away from Leeds, and they looked dull in attack after that.
The dynamism Okafor and Bogle brought was non-existent in the second half when the Whites were under pressure.
Great point at Brighton,yes we missed chances thats why we needed to by a striker in this window not defenders ,but let’s get real 5 points from 3 games against 2 European side is a good return so now win our home games and top10 will be attainable
