Leeds United 3-1 Middlesbrough: Whites return to top of Championship

Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke told BBC Radio Leeds:

“I think it was a well deserved win, in the end. But I want to congratulate Middlesbrough on a really good away performance.

“They were positive and that makes our win a bit sweeter because we played against an excellent side.

“It was a really good first half, but the feeling in such a tight game was that we wasted too many chances.

“After such an unlikely equaliser, it is difficult to turn the tide again but that is what we did and many compliments to the players.”

Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick:

“I’m disappointed with the result, but the game was right in the balance really, second half.

“In some ways, it was where we wanted it. We had a really good spell and it felt like we could go on and win the game. Obviously we did loads of good things in coming back into the game and had wrestled back control after going a goal down.

“Over the last two games, we’ve played against players who’ve played a lot of Premier League football and our lads can take a lot of confidence from how we’ve gone about it.”
