Leeds United manager, Daniel Farke has suggested that his team defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the Premier League on Wednesday night because his players put in a great performance against the visitors.
Farke watched as goals from Ao Tanaka, Jaka Bijol, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured Leeds United defeated the Blues at Elland Road.
Speaking after the game, Farke also said that Leeds deserved the victory against Enzo Maresca’s side.
“We were so desperate to bring this club back to the top level, and Elland Road was back to its best,” Farke told the BBC.
“A great, great shift from my lads, great performance against one of the best sides in the world.
“They won the [Club] World Cup in the summer, they are one of the contenders for the Premier League title, and then to win this game, also in this manner, and I would also say deserved by chances, expected goals, shots, shots on target.”
The victory took Leeds out of the relegation zone, while Chelsea dropped to 4th position.
