Daniel Farke makes top-two assessment upon Leeds United win at Norwich City with multiple boosts — YEP 22/10/23
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has made a top-two assessment on the back of Saturday's 3-2 comeback success at Norwich City, highlighting multiple Whites boosts.
By Lee Sobot
Leeds approached Saturday’s return to action after the
international break having climbed to fifth place in the Championship table but
looked set to suffer a third defeat of the season upon falling 2-0 behind. The
Whites, though, ultimately recovered to pull off a superb second-half fightback
to leave Carrow Road with a 3-2 victory that elevated Farke’s side into third
place.
The win also booted Leeds five points clear of a Norwich
side that have now dropped to tenth but Farke believes the Canaries will have
designs on a top-two finish and hailed the victory as a big moment in the
season which also provided multiple Whites boosts.
"These are key moments in the season, to be able to
turn a game completely in such a difficult away ground,” said Farke post match
to LUTV.
"Norwich, let's be honest, is also a side who will be
highly motivated to finish in the top six, perhaps even in the top two. To turn
this game in the manner that we did in the second half is brilliant and we must
not forget it was the first game after a difficult international break for us.
"Also, it's always good out of a losing position to win
points and it was also good for confidence. We changed the formation at the end
of the game for the last 20-25 minutes. We brought all of our offensive players
in but also then that we are capable to play in a three man (defence) formation
at times with what we did to take even more risks. One thing is to work on it
but then to show it the first time in the game when it really counts at such a
difficult ground, all the praise goes to my lads. It's good, the confidence is
growing."
