Daniel Farke can take pride in the performance of his Leeds side in the 1-1 draw against Sunderland on Sunday.
Simon Adingra scored first for Sunderland, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalized early in the second half following Brenden Aaronson’s assist.
Both teams pushed for a winning goal, but ultimately had to settle for a draw in an entertaining match at the Stadium of Light.
The result sees Leeds in 16th place in the Premier League table, with West Ham losing to Fulham and Leeds now holding a seven-point lead over the drop zone.
However, Farke may bear some responsibility for the draw as Alan Pardew believes not substituting Joe Rodon for an injury contributed to Sunderland’s goal.
Pardew mentioned that Farke may regret keeping Rodon on the pitch despite his visible discomfort, which led to Sunderland’s goal.
Leeds eventually switched to a four at the back formation with Rodon being replaced after Sunderland’s goal, showing their adaptability and potential to surprise opponents in the future.
With upcoming matches against top teams like Liverpool and Man United, Leeds’ unpredictability could make them a challenging side to face in the Premier League.
