The West Yorkshire club had to share the spoils against Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday (September 20).

Speaking to reporters after the game, Farke admitted he had ‘mixed emotions’ about the result.

"Mixed emotions. Preferred to win it but reality is that all 38 games cannot be magic nights. Sometimes you have to dig in," said Farke. 

"Many things I liked: unbeaten run and clean sheet. If we can't win, then we don't lose. We were a bit too loose.

"Credit to Palace, good structure. You have to be tidy on the ball. We rarely won first and second touch.

"This is the culture we have implemented in the club. We need to be consistent over weeks and months. It's difficult, but with this group it is relatively easy. It is a joy to work with them."
