Elland Road had so far been a fortress this year with Leeds earning one win and two draws there since returning to the Premier League. Farke stuck with the same line-up as the previous four matches and the hosts made a positive start with Joe Rodon heading off the post. Noah Okafor is their only player to have registered more than one league goal for the Whites this campaign while summer-signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin has not managed to build on the one goal he scored at Wolves two weeks ago.
Elland Road had so far been a fortress this year with Leeds earning one win and two draws there since returning to the Premier League.
Farke stuck with the same line-up as the previous four matches and the hosts made a positive start with Joe Rodon heading off the post.
But Leeds' results in recent weeks have led many to question where the goals will come from this season.
Noah Okafor is their only player to have registered more than one league goal for the Whites this campaign while summer-signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin has not managed to build on the one goal he scored at Wolves two weeks ago.
Sean Longstaff has proved to be an astute signing but could not get his powerful strike on target.
Farke threw on two extra forwards with 10 minutes to go in an attempt to restore parity and substitute Joel Piroe almost found the equaliser in added time with a brilliant effort from close range but for a big save from Guglielmo Vicario. Farke was left with his head in his hands and then watched on as Patrick Struijk headed over from a corner.
But their attacking mindset and a belief they can get something from the game are traits that will help Leeds this season as they aim to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
