00:00Leeds United were left heartbroken, that is according to head coach Daniel Farker, as
00:06his side conceded a late equaliser against Bournemouth at Elland Road in the Premier
00:11League.
00:12Sean Longstaff's goal had looked to have given Leeds a 2-1 victory, but Bournemouth kept
00:17on fighting until the end to rescue the draw and take a point back.
00:22Yes, of course, I know lots of heartbreak in the last pictures, but nevertheless I'm
00:28proud of the performance, proud also of a valuable point against a really good side.
00:34Of course, it's unlucky because we deserve to win this game, we have outperformed them
00:37and expected goal shots, I think 19 shots, shots on target, we were the only team who
00:43has missed big chances, didn't give one chance away out of the game, but a bit unnecessary
00:47to set-piece situation, they were clinically in this situation and also heartbreak in the
00:5294th minute today again.
00:55Of course, I feel for the Leeds, but nevertheless a top performance, also a top resilience to
00:59come again from being in behind, top team performance in many, many ways, and for that
01:06today we are disappointed, but from the latest, from Monday on, we move on and take this also
01:12as a valuable point.
01:13And Bradford City remain top of the League One table as they defeated Blackpool at Valley
01:20Parade by one goal to nil, with manager Graeme Alexander describing the display as the best
01:25win of the season so far.
01:27A massive three-pointer, I think it's the best win of the season for us, I really do, I think
01:32the circumstances behind the whole week.
01:36Wednesday night, such a big occasion, the amount of energy spent by the players and then playing
01:44so quickly straight after it and probably a lot of expectancy on us to win that game because
01:51of the league positions and nothing else really, because the quality they have is really high.
01:56So I think you could see the game panning out to a game, probably we know from the past
02:02a little bit, where a little bit of frustration creeping in and I was part of that as well.
02:07So first of all, I calmed down at half-time, then calmed the players down at half-time and
02:11just said, look, keep our composure, do not concede a goal.
