Daniel Farke believes Leeds United took a first step in the right direction as their defensive solidity returned in a 0-0 play-off semi-final first leg against Norwich City.
The Whites played out a cagey 90 minutes at Carrow Road with neither goalkeeper really tested, but it was the visitors who gained control of the second half as the home side faded. Leeds, who had a penalty appeal turned down early on, did put the ball in the net only for the tightest of offside decisions to rule out Junior Firpo’s effort.
” Farke was not pleased, however, with what he saw from the match officials. Referee Josh Smith and his team failed to spot a foul on Willy Gnonto that began outside the area and continued into it, while the Leeds boss also contended with the decision to rule out Firpo’s goal for offside. Farke is convinced that Rutter was onside when the ball was played towards him. “During the game I was 100 per cent convinced but watching it back the foul starts outside,” said Farke.
