'Mature' Leeds are class above Cov

DANIEL Farke praised the “maturity” of his Leeds United side after they thumped early-season strugglers Coventry City with a dominant display at Elland Road.

Willy Gnonto opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a superb shot from Junior Firpo’s cross.

Right-back Jayden Bogle, a summer signing from Sheffield United, found the net four minutes into the second half to claim his first goal for the Whites.

And substitute Joel Piroe tapped in a third for Farke’s men on the counter-attack from Gnonto’s cutback 11 minutes from time.

Leeds could have won by a greater margin, but their latest win keeps them riding high in the play-off places.

Farke said: “It was a very good performance, a very mature performance, and we were excellent in the first half.

“Our pressing, our counter pressing was spot on, we scored excellent team goal and created many chances.
