Leeds United manager Daniel Farke was dissatisfied with the refereeing in their match against Rotherham United on Friday night.
Summerville got on the end of a Rutter one-two pass before curling it past the keeper for his seventh goal of the season, putting the Whites ahead within five minutes. Hakeem Odofin‘s strike into the bottom left corner equalised Rotherham just before halftime.
During the game, there were two major contentious events: Leeds had a goal ruled out for offside and were then denied a penalty after a horrific challenge on Daniel James. Daniel Farke was enraged by these decisions, which he expressed during the post-match press conference.
“I was far away, but my view was unobstructed.” On James Morrison was 30cm from the ground. Attacking quickly. There is no VAR in the championship, and everything is the same. It’s an away game. You probably get this all day at home. Nobody is yelling for it away from home. At this point, you have to accept it.
Decisions are made for the home team. Bamford is two inches offside, according to the linesman.”
The German coach also admitted that Leeds should have been more clinical and finished the game before Rotherham got back into it in the second half:
“Rotherham gets the second half credit.” On the plus side. They were extremely well-organized. For 20/25 minutes, we struggled to create enough chances. Subs were made. Formation. Struijk needs to score with the header to win the game after creating more than enough. James requires a penalty. Bamford was clearly offside.”
