Norwich City manager Daniel Farke watched his side record a valuable three points against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday.
Daniel Farke has stated that he is ‘annoyed’ by the goal Norwich conceded during their 3-1 win [BBC Sport] over Leeds because the corner leading up to Patrick Bamford’s consolation header ‘wasn’t even a corner’.
The Canaries moved to the top of the Championship table after securing a deserved three points against their promotion rivals at Elland Road on Saturday.
In stoppage time, substitute Bamford saw his shot hit the crossbar, but referee Stuart Attwell deemed that opposition goalkeeper Tim Krul got fingertips on the ball – they scored from that resulting corner.
But despite securing a valuable win to leapfrog Leeds in the table, Farke made a claim about the manner in which the home team scored their goal.
“I am bit annoyed with the last minute because we concede the goal,” Farke told Sky Sports Football on 02/02/2019. “The corner was not even a corner.”
Nonetheless, Farke’s side produced a high-quality performance to boost their chances of finishing in an automatic place at the end of the season.
They are sitting top of the tree in the second tier of English football, level on points with second-placed Leeds, leading the Yorkshire outfit on goal difference.
Third-placed Sheffield United, who beat relegation-threatened Bolton earlier on in the day, are three points behind their rivals as the Championship enters its crunch period.
Norwich host bitter rivals Ipswich Town next Sunday, with Paul Lambert’s side sitting bottom of the table and facing relegation to the third tier of English football.
As for Leeds, Marcelo Bielsa and his team will be looking to get back to winning ways when they travel to the northeast to take on Tony Pulis’ Middlesbrough, who are currently sitting in a playoff spot.
