Leeds had a strong start to the season with a 1-0 win over Everton in their first game back in the Premier League. However, their second game was against title contenders Arsenal, who dominated the match with goals from Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, and Viktor Gyokeres.
Farke spoke to the press after the game, saying that the defeat was not unexpected due to the challenging circumstances. Leeds were missing their key player, captain Ethan Ampadu, and were facing a strong Arsenal team that had just won a big game against Manchester United.
Farke explained that Arsenal's new signings and the electric atmosphere in the stadium made it a tough match for Leeds. He acknowledged that his team had some good chances, but ultimately, Arsenal was the better side and deserved the win.
Farke emphasized that the defeat is not a defining moment for the season and that his team knows they need to perform better in tough situations to secure points.
