Leeds boss Daniel Farke described his side’s display in their 4-0 Championship play-off semi-final, second leg win against Norwich City as 'nearly perfect'.

Farke’s side had won only one of their last six games of the regular season and staggered into the play-offs after missing out on automatic promotion.

But they rediscovered top form in the second leg to sweep his former club aside at Elland Road as goals from Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville booked their place in the play-off final on May 26.

“First of all congratulations to Norwich City. A difficult opponent. A difficult first leg," said Farke, who previously led the Canaries to two Championship titles before his dismissal in the Premier League. "This was a complex performance from us. It was one of our most complex performances during the whole season.

“We dominated possession, we were so creative, had many, many clear-cut chances, scored four goals, should have scored many more goals to be honest.

“Many compliments to my young side. I was a bit concerned because the pressure was a bit on us here at Elland Road after the first game and due to the season we had.

“The lads delivered in a perfect way, with their game management – pretty impressive for such a young side, so yes, many compliments, but we should have been more effective in using the chances.

“Especially in the beginning of the second half, so it was nearly a perfect night for us and we’re all happy.”

Leeds fans created an electric atmosphere and Farke paid tribute to their support.

“This place is really second to none, how this place is rocking,” he said. “When it comes down to the wire this place is united. It’s unbelievable the atmosphere.

“Our run-in was not the best because of many injuries. We didn’t have our best shape, nor the best results in our last two games.

“But to go into this game with the positivity and the unity is second to none and I’m pretty grateful for this experience.

“We had to calm the players down a bit at half-time, but this place is a great help and I just have compliments for supporters because this is why we all grew up wanting to be a football player.”
