00:00Leeds United and Newcastle United played out a scrappy 0-0 draw at Elland Road on Saturday

00:07with Leeds United head coach Daniel Thorker reacting after the full-time whistle.

00:13Absolutely pretty proud of the boys, not just with the game today but overall with the whole

00:19start of the season so far, especially the open games of course, two games, four points,

00:24two clean sheets today against definitely one of the best sides in the UK who have dominated

00:30on Monday Liverpool with 11 men but also with 10 men and today we made it difficult for

00:35them to create chances and were pretty competitive today.

00:40I think there was not much in between the sides, we had the better first half, they were perhaps

00:44a bit better in terms of possession in the second half but we had probably the better chances

00:48anyhow so pretty competitive game and this is exactly how you have to approach as a newly

00:54promoted side this league so I'm pretty delighted for the boys, also with the circumstances

01:01we spoke about, we want to do something in the offence and also our captain not available,

01:06East Nampadu, Aotanaka, top and crucial players for us and then to show such a competitive performance

01:11against such a good side.

01:12And there was another win for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light with Wilson Isidore scoring

01:19a late goal against Brentford to give the Black Cats all three points their second victory

01:25of the season so far.

01:26I'm happy, happy and till the end I think we tried to win this game and it was really

01:33positive the way we managed this game with two different halves, first one I think we controlled

01:41the game without scoring or creating too many chances, the second half was chaotic and I think

01:48it's two important parts of the same game and the ability to manage even the second one like

01:54we did is really positive.

01:56A dream 24 hours for Wilson, obviously a dramatic way to end the game obviously a little over

02:0124 hours ago his wife or his partner was giving birth so incredible ending to the game.

02:07Yeah absolutely, absolutely, it's good for Wilson, good for us, good for his family, I think

02:12two incredible days.
