"We had some great chances": Leeds boss Farke after Everton force late 1-1 draw
Leeds are now six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone
Thierno Barry scored his fourth goal in five matches as Everton came from behind to secure a 1-all draw against Leeds last night.
The point at Hill Dickinson Stadium has taken the Merseysiders into the top half of the Premier League.
Leeds, who were visiting the new Everton ground for the first time, are now six points clear of the relegation places - with James Justin netting for Whites in the 28th minute.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke was satisfied with a point, even though that allowed Nottingham Forest and West Ham to gain ground on them after they both won at the weekend.
"Overall a really good result for us on the road, especially after an impressive result for Everton last time (beating Aston Villa)," he said.
"The first half was impressive and it was unlucky we couldn't capitalise. We had some great chances and we should have scored.
"It was clear at some point in the second half they would show up but I got the feeling we were still controlling the game even with less possession.
"We could have defended a bit sharper but I liked the reaction from the lads in the last 10 minutes."
Asked whether their rivals' results near the foot of the table had affected their mood going into the game, Farke added: "Not at all. We just focused on this game as we can't influence what other teams are doing.
"It's a long road, 38 games, you have to accept sometimes the teams around you win games.
"For us it was important to show another good performance. Slightly disappointed we didn't win all three points because it was a possibility but it was a good result on the road."
