Leeds United's improvement was underlined by the obvious disappointment of manager Daniel Farke that they only left Everton with a point. Farke, whose position appeared under threat after struggling at the start of their return to the Premier League, has fashioned a significant improvement to make Leeds look at home in the top flight. Leeds were so much better than Everton in the first 45 minutes that a single-goal lead was nowhere near a reflection of their superiority. On the evidence of this display, and others recently, they should not be harbouring any serious relegation concerns. The manager was under serious pressure earlier in the season, but he remained calm and has worked superbly to make Leeds United look like a Premier League team.
