Chelsea 2-2 Leeds: What Farke said

Chelsea 2-2 Leeds: What Farke said:

Leeds manager Daniel Farke speaking to TNT Sports: "The boys did us proud. Chelsea, of course, were the dominate side and created more chances and won the statistics - but I think we fought so hard for this point. It's a well-deserved point and I'm very proud of the lads."

On Jaka Bijol's performance: "Overall, really good. Let's be honest we are praising ourselves for being the 'toughest' league in the world - it was a very, very soft penalty. But you can say that he shouldn't give the referee a decision to make, of course. It was not the smartest decision to touch him with both hands."

On Leeds fighting spirit: "We've shown this throughout the season and we've proved we are a proper Premier League side and we want to earn the points to play in this league for longer.

"We want to be an established Premier League side in a few years and we are on a good path to achieving that this season."
