Leeds United's new manager Jesse Marsch was impressed with his players' intelligence, despite the American's Premier League managerial debut ending in defeat.
Marsch has worked with the squad for just four days but his philosophy – a fluid 4-2-3-1 set-up with a focus on winning possession and attacking at speed – was evident.
That pleased Marsch, whose side had enough chances to win the match. He relayed his pride to the players after calling them together for a full-time huddle in the centre circle.
'I've learned, and maybe this is the American in me, that sometimes our sport isn't the fairest but that doesn't matter,' Marsch said.
