00:00Leeds United lost 2-0 away at fellow newly promoted side Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon,

00:09with head coach Daniel Farker describing the loss as a tough one to take.

00:15Yes, of course, tough to take.

00:19Can't have a better statistic in an away game on this level.

00:24In all aspects, we were the better side, but the only thing that decides games are goals.

00:30In this terms, you have to say, in relation to them, they were more effective than us.

00:33This is the reason they won the game.

00:35I think it was two attempts on goal, wasn't it, that brought the two goals?

00:40Yes.

00:41Again, so I'm pretty sure that when Liverpool, Arsenal and City travel here,

00:45they won't have a better statistic, so you can't be more dominant in possession.

00:49We had 90 shots, so many shots on target, so many big chances, so many big chances missed,

00:53so many more expected goals, more corners in all aspects anyhow,

00:56but if it's one of the days when it feels like we are always surprised when we have such a big chance,

01:03then at least you have to be perfect on the other hand, in terms of defending,

01:07in terms of what we allowed, there was not much.

01:10One wonder strike out of 25 yards in the second half, OK?

01:14Meanwhile, Bradford City manager Graham Alexander described the Bantams 2-2 draw

01:19with Barnsley at Valley Parade as frustrating.

01:23I thought it was a brilliant derby, thought both teams really went at it,

01:28hell for leather, and taking the lead twice, getting pegged back twice,

01:33frustrating from our perspective.

01:35I think I'm pleased with our goals, I'm pleased with our attacking output

01:39all the way through the game.

01:40We've had so many opportunities and chances, and real good chances.

01:44I think they've blocked a few, the keepers made a couple of saves really close in,

01:48so I'm really pleased from that perspective.

01:51The defensive side of it, I thought the first goal is just world class from that lad.

01:57Yeah, you can't do anything about that, that's just from a different level.

02:00The second goal is the frustrating one, because it's something we've worked on

02:04and tried to correct, so there's just a bit more work to do on that.

02:09But the plus points from my perspective, it's another point on the tally.
