AliousLeeds United manager Daniel Farke praised his team’s performance in their 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, calling it their best showing of the season.
The win came at a crucial time, as Leeds had been under pressure after failing to secure a win in their first three matches and facing criticism from fans regarding the club’s American ownership.
The victory served as a reminder of why Leeds are favored to win the Championship.
Despite the 2-0 scoreline, Leeds dominated the game and could have won by a larger margin.
Brenden Aaronson and Dan James scored the goals that secured the important three points and boosted team morale.
Farke expressed his satisfaction with the team’s dominance and bravery throughout the match, particularly highlighting the quality of their goals.
He acknowledged that while there’s still room for improvement, the performance was mature and deserving of praise given the circumstances.
The manager also addressed the team’s current shortage of players, having named two goalkeepers on the bench.
He mentioned that efforts are underway to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.
A recent £10 million signing, winger Largie Ramazani, is expected to be joined by at least three more players in the coming week.
Farke emphasized the need for additional signings to support the club’s ambitions, noting that a squad of only 12-13 senior players is insufficient for a club of Leeds’ stature.
However, he praised the current group’s performance and potential.
The match itself saw Leeds control the game from early on, with both goals showcasing the team’s skill and teamwork.
Aaronson opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a well-executed team move, while James sealed the victory early in the second half with a clinical finish.
Despite a few chances for Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds maintained their composure and created several opportunities to extend their lead.
The comfortable win has set a new standard for Leeds’ campaign moving forward.
