DANIEL FARKE SAID AFTER THE MATCH
“THIS GAME WAS SO, SO DIFFICULT SO I’M REALLY HAPPY AS WE PLAYED AGAINST A REALLY GOOD OXFORD SIDE. WE HAD LOT’S OF CONTROL BUT GARY ROWETT’S SIDES ARE ALWAYS WELL STRUCTURED AND COMPETITIVE. WHEN YOU DON’T SCORE THAT SECOND GOAL, YOU HAVE TO SHOW STEEL AND RESILIENCE AND GOOD DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR AND THIS IS WHAT WE’VE DONE TODAY IN A TOP-CLASS WAY. THESE TYPE OF WINS WITH A CLEAN SHEET ARE THE BEST TYPE OF WINS, ESPECIALLY AT THIS STAGE OF THE SEASON. (LEEDS HAVE COLLECTED 181 POINTS IN 89 LEAGUE GAMES WITH DANIEL FARKE AS MANAGER!)
