Why Farke's delighted with top-flight start

Leeds United's start to life in the Premier League at Elland Road and the four points they've accrued have delighted boss Daniel Farke.

The Whites were well worth a point from a 0-0 draw with Newcastle United at home. Though it was far from a classic and failed to thrill for long periods, Leeds were in the game throughout and coped well with whatever the visitors threw at them.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin even had a late chance to win it for the Whites but found Nick Pope equal to his strike. But the win over Everton and the draw against a Champions League side have given Farke a solid base to work from after the international break.

That point, won without the presence of midfield starters Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka, was particularly precious for the manager.
