Leeds boss Daniel Farke revealed several of his players had been struggling during his side바카라s 3-1 win against Hull, which lifted them back into the Sky Bet Championship바카라s automatic promotion places. (More Football News)
Sam Byram바카라s early header for Leeds was deservedly cancelled out by Hull바카라s on-loan Liverpool forward Fabio Carvalho and the visitors went on to out-play their hosts for long periods in the first half.
Leeds created the better chances, but failed to hit top form and breathed a sigh of relief when Crysencio Summerville converted a late penalty.
Daniel James scored from fully 40 yards into an empty net with virtually the last kick after Hull goalkeeper Ryan Allsop had gone up for a stoppage-time corner to give the scoreline a lop-sided look.
Farke, without injured trio Willy Gnonto, Illia Gruev and Connor Roberts, said: 바카라It was a complicated game for us due to many reasons. For many of my players it was the third game in six days on international duty.
바카라Then we had many players on the pitch with problems. Glen Kamara played while ill. He had a cold, but we were thin on central midfield options, so I wanted him to go through this game.
바카라Cry Summerville had some problems, Joe Rodon couldn바카라t train because he had a back spasm. He played with pain-killers.
바카라Sam Byram told me at half-time: 바카라Boss I can바카라t sprint anymore.바카라 I told him 80 per cent then, you have to keep going.
바카라So many problems today and the main problem was we played a really good side. A really good possession side. If you analyse their results against the top sides, they never lose.바카라
Summerville picked himself up to convert from the spot in the 88th minute after Regan Slater바카라s challenge, but not before a lengthy debate with late Leeds substitute Joel Piroe over who would take the penalty.
"It was difficult,바카라 Farke added. 바카라The problem was I don바카라t like it for players to take a penalty when they바카라re just 30 seconds on the pitch. I never believe in bringing players on just for penalties because you need to have at least a few touches.
바카라There was confusion because Joel was just 30 seconds on the pitch and it was definitely the right decision that Cry took over and rightly took it 바카라 and thank God he scored!바카라
Hull head coach Liam Rosenior was delighted with his players바카라 display, despite their winless run extending to six matches, and defied Tigers fans to write off their side바카라s play-off chances.
Rosenior said: 바카라I바카라m so proud of the lads today. They represented everything I want to see in a football team.
바카라To come here, go a goal down and play our way back into it in that atmosphere in a game of such importance, to play with such control.
바카라The dominance, we were the better team first half, probably the better team overall I thought, although statistically they had more shots.
바카라But in terms of the control, the set-up, the energy, the press, we were outstanding today. We had those moments, it just didn바카라t happen for us.바카라
