Blackburn Rovers v Leeds United: Championship stats & head-to-head – BBC Sport

Blackburn head coach John Eustace speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire:

“Outstanding performance and very proud of the boys. All round we were brave trying to play out from the back and while it caused us a couple of problems and gave them a couple of opportunities, we tried to play the right way and with good attacking football as well, trying to go toe-to-toe with a good team.

“They did have lots of the ball and that was always going to happen but it is important when we get the opportunities we have to be more clinical. But the most important thing is we got the three points.

“It is important that Todd Cantwell is off the mark now as I think it has been playing on his mind a little bit. He could have scored a couple more but he is getting in the right areas and playing some fantastic football.”

Leeds head coach Daniel Farke speaking to BBC Radio Leeds:

“Blackburn had the better start and for that they deserved to win the game. We started too slow and gave too many unnecessary free-kicks and fouls away. The penalty was the same.

“Lazy is perhaps too harsh but we should have had a bit more aggression and been quicker in the head.

“I was not happy with our start and we have to be ready and quicker and do the yards that are really hurting and we didn’t do that.

“Due to their postponed game they had more or less one game in the last 10 days whereas this was the third in six days for us and an early kick-off as well.”
