Norwich City 1-2 Leeds United - recap: Post-match reaction and player ratings from Carrow Road win

NORWICH CITY 1-2 LEEDS UNITED

Phew! Thank the lord for that. Leeds United have a second win of the season! We’ll have full reaction to come here from Carrow Road.

Leeds striker Rodrigo speaking to Sky Sports: “It was a very important goal. I think we needed victory. We haven’t started the season well, but deserve more than we have now. I’m happy with my goal but more so the win.”

On Leeds’ intensity: “We are a team that tries to command the game, we have this style. We dominated the game and deserved the win and the team are congratulated for it.”

On the first away win of the season: “It is more than three points; we played against a team who is having a bad moment, like us. It is an important result and we are looking forward to the next game.”

Norwich defender Andrew Omobamidele, speaking to BBC Sport: “It is a bittersweet moment. I am proud to get my first goal but we are here to win games. We are disappointed with the end result. At the end of the first half we were on top of the game.

“They scored and we scored straight away. We were on top. We were unlucky with the second goal. We have a great group of lads. And there will be no pointing fingers. Confidence is just the thing we need. We need to keep improving and focus on Brentford.”

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to BBC Sport: “A very important win given our position in the table, due to the results we have been obtaining that are not positive.

“It is not frequent and we went quickly from joy to sadness, but that is what football has that is extraordinary.

“Without goals the performance is not expressed. It is very difficult to score. To be able to count on players that unbalance is very necessary.

“The job of a coach has some very difficult things you have to live with. Especially with Norwich’s manager, he has shown a big spiritual fortitude and I hope he can come back from this situation.”

Norwich boss Daniel Farke speaking to Sky Sports: “I am disappointed. In home games against sides around you in the table, you need to win points. We are not playing for warm words, we are playing for points and if you don’t achieve them in games like this it is difficult to achieve our targets and earn the right to stay in the league.

“We have lost against the top three and didn’t have many chances. In all the other games, we have been competitive and received compliments. There was good effort and a good team performance today, but we lacked quality in both boxes. We were the better side in the first half; when we equalised the atmosphere was buzzing and we had the whole stadium on our side. Then they scored and it changed the mood again. In a tight game this is decisive.”
