Candid Farke still manages to find positives from south-coast setback
Yorkshire Evening Post
|November 03, 2025
Daniel Farke admitted Leeds United were decidedly second best in defeat at Brighton but drew positives from certain reactions.
The Whites went a goal down on 11 minutes when poor defending allowed Danny Welbeck to net his sixth of the season.
Though Leeds had plenty of the ball in the rest of the first half they did relatively little with it.
A toothless attacking performance continued in the second half and more slack, messy defending further hampered them.
By the 70th minute it was over, Diego Gomez netting the second of his two goals after good work from Georginio Rutter.
When it was put to Farke that his side was not competitive in the way it has been in other games this season, he responded: "I agree. We don't have to over-analyse the game, they were the better side, deserved to win the game. There's no sugar coating.
