had to settle for a point after Leeds United saw their second consecutive Yorkshire derby end 0-0.
Drawn to Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month, Hull City upset the East Yorkshire whites on Tuesday.
But although Leeds were actually the better team in the first half, with debutant Ryan Allsop scoring brilliantly for the Tigers, things could have been worse after Joe Rodon was sent off after the hour . Hull’s Adama Traore hit the post in the final minutes.
“It’s definitely a good point,” said Farke, the Leeds manager. “If before the game you had offered me a point on the road after a difficult away trip to Millwall, knowing that Hull have had a very good start to the season and are a very strong team, a good team, if you had . offered a foul-free match, at one point I didn’t accept because I always wanted to aim for three points but I would say it would definitely be a good result
“Allsop made three vital saves in the first half as Leeds calmly got caught.
“After that game I was a bit torn because I felt after 65 minutes it wasn’t a question of if we would take the lead but when because we were so dominant.
“We didn’t give them a single chance and we created a lot of good chances.
“Sometimes you have to accept that the goalkeeper had an excellent game and you have to accept that.
“One small situation can change the whole dynamic.
“We got a yellow-red card and you can’t press that high anymore and the opponent gets a little more confident and brave, you have to sit a little deeper. You don’t have much control and you have to dig deep. IN.
“I felt that even in that position we had the best chances with Georginio Rutter but in the 89th minute they had an extremely dangerous chance and normally it would have been a goal but they went for it. missed the post.
“In football, you usually lose a match like that 0-1 and you sit in the dressing room and wonder how could you lose a match like that?
“In the circumstances, I’m happy with a good point on the road, the clean sheet and the performance. Yes, we should have been a little more alert to take advantage of our opportunities, but in terms of performance, I’m happy with what the players did and their mentality. Lots of compliments to my boys.”
Rodon was sent off for two fouls, and Farke and his centre-back, who will now be suspended against Watford, felt the same way.
“The fact that he wasn’t allowed to finish the game was tough,” Farke said. “He had two fouls and a lot of technical fouls against Cree Summerville. Really hard.
“The first one wasn’t a yellow card for Joe, it wasn’t even a foul. No, I can’t explain it myself, but you have to say that if you’re reserved, you need to handle the situation a little more intelligently. This is where you have to be a little critical.”
