Leeds United suffer their first defeat at Elland Road this season as Blackburn Rovers secure a victory. Despite dominating the game, Leeds fail to capitalize on their chances and lose to a late goal by Sammie Szmodics. Manager Daniel Farke takes responsibility and promises to improve the team's efficiency.
Leeds went into Saturday's early kick-off looking to return to the top of the Championship against a relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers . They had three quarters of the ball and outshot their visitors 19-3. But Rovers won the statistic that mattered, Sammie Szmodics ' 82nd-minute goal the only one of a game which saw Junior Firpo hit a post and Patrick Bamford appeal in vain for a stoppage-time penalty.
'It's all about working in training on our efficiency and perhaps to work more and creating even more situations. 'I got the feeling we created more than enough to score but if we don't I'm not the guy to point fingers at the players. 'It's not the first time in football I experienced an amazing run and great results then more difficult and challenging days with a draw or a loss. 'I would have preferred to go through this season unbeaten but I'm not naive.
