Daniel Farke brought Leeds United supporters to their feet in the second half of the win over Watford.
As per Graham Smyth, Farke brought a high ball down in his dugout, ‘killing it dead with a flick of his shoe’.
The Elland Road faithful were brought to their feet after his touch, with a chant of ‘sign him up’ ringing around the ground as Leeds fans enjoyed arguably the best performance of the season.
Leeds dominated Watford from start to finish, and but for some poor finishing in the first half, would’ve had the game wrapped up at the interval.
In the end, Leeds’ patience was rewarded as Joel Piroe’s opener opened the floodgates for Sam Byram and Jaidon Anthony to seal an excellent three points.
Farke brings Leeds fans to their feet at Elland Road
Farke has quickly earned the love from Leeds supporters since his appointment in July, both for how he conducts himself and his style of play.
Leeds are playing arguably their best football since Marcelo Bielsa’s exit in February 2023 with the squad now really getting to grips with Farke’s methods.
Not only are Leeds looking fluent in attack, but they have now also kept four clean sheets in a row for the first time since they were last in the Championship.
Leeds supporters will be hoping this sort of result and performance is the first of many at Elland Road, having drawn their opening three home matches of the season.
The more Leeds continue to perform at this sort of level, the more love Farke is going to continue to feel from the Elland Road faithful as the season goes on.
