Leeds 1-2 Aston Villa: What Farke said

Leeds manager Daniel Farke to BBC Match of the Day: "Performance-wise, we've turned back to what we want to be. We dominated many periods against a very good side. We should've taken some points from this game. We are not back to our best; we can still improve, but at the end, we are just disappointed we did not get any points.

"To concede two goals is not good. As good as we are attacking down the left side at the moment, we concede too many goals. We concede so quickly straight after the restart.

"Over the course of 38 games, you have ups and downs. It happens sometimes at this level. Performance-wise, I was happy. At the moment, we are in a period where things are going against us.

"Of course, the fans are unhappy and disappointed once we lose games. I don't want them to have a different reaction. I want them to feel like the world is falling apart when we lose a game; otherwise, you can't be a Leeds United supporter.

"I'm just fully focused on the performance. If we perform like this today, we'll win many more points."
