'Mature performance and a well-deserved win'

Leeds manager Daniel Farke has praised his squad after their enthralling 3-1 win over Swansea.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Farke said: "I have to give many compliments to my lads because the start was ridiculous. We went to this game and after 1 minute we took the lead.
"You think 'OK happy days' and then 30 seconds later the goal was disallowed and we conceded out of nothing. Swansea are a really good footballing side and they can cause problems especially when they’re confident, they’re good on the counter-attack.
"I thought in this moment that it could be a really long day at the office, but I have to give compliments to my lads. Although it was a difficult and complicated game in the first half, we didn’t lose our nerve, we were spot on and didn’t give any chances away.
"They caused us some problems with their possession and pressing, but nevertheless we were able to turn the game around, we had fantastic goals and great chances.
"The second half was more impressive because we spoke about a few details in our pressing that we wanted to change to get more control over the game and that’s what we did with many winnings of the ball.
"The only thing I could criticise is our efficiency because I looked at our xG and we had seven or eight more chances than Swansea did. All in all it was a mature performance and a well-deserved win."
