West Ham 3-0 Leeds: What Farke said
· Yahoo Sports
Leeds manager Daniel Farke, speaking to Sky Sports: "To be honest, this was probably one game too many, without several key players today. Not in the first half, we missed a few big chances but in the second half we missed many, many key players and missed a bit of quality.
"But we've played a fantastic season as a promoted side. To finish 14th on 47 points is massive, especially given how difficult it was for promoted sides last season.

"We've had many top quality performances, not today but over the season. Compliments to my players and staff, and also to our supporters."
On reasons for such a good first season back in the top flight: "The quality of performance was always on a really good level. We started with the first home game against Everton with a win.
"Consistency in the performances, the Arsenal games were a bit too much for us but otherwise we were competitive. We lacked efficiency early on, dominated the statistics but not the score line - the only thing that matters.
"We are not the side with the most individual quality but, as a side, we have shown a lot of skills."
On the summer ahead: "Right now, I'm just tired and want to go home and enjoy the break. You always have to be switched on because you won't win one point as a promoted side in this league if you want"I need to recharge a little but then we look forward to taking the next steps."
