We made it. Daniel Farke just announced a contract worth …..
The Whites manager acknowledged that his team had not played at its peak, but he was happy with the way his team persevered and won the game thanks to a Joel Piroe penalty kick that came in injury time.
Though the triumph was well-earned, there was some justice in it coming from a spot kick against opponents who were fortunate to only have 11 men on the field and spoilt at every opportunity.
The match may have been arbitrated differently by referee David Webb because of his odd calls, especially when it came to yellow cards, and his inability to shield the home team from near-assault situations in some situations.
Even though the United team won the match thanks to his decision, there was irony because Ryan Ledson was the one who extended his arm out within the area as the ball bounced up to hit it. The home crowd had been yelling that he was unfit to referee.Ledson had a terrible challenge on Iliev Gruev not long ago, and the referee had the option of giving him a yellow card instead of a red one.
Although Farke refrained from criticizing Preston for their efforts to ruin the game, Leeds manager was pleased with his team’s response to the provocation.
But to win games like this, when you have some problems in the first half to find your level – we started a bit too slow with not enough aggression – to fight yourself minute to minute into the game, to get a hard-fought but deserved win, these are the best moments.
“They’re season-defining moments, important for the mood and the confidence. I love when we’re there with champagne football, scoring goal after goal, but these type of wins for me are the most enjoyable.
