"PROPER FOOTBALL": DANIEL FARKE HAILS LEEDS' BRAVERY AFTER ERASING CHELSEA’S TWO-GOAL LEAD
Leeds United clawed back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Chelsea. Discover Daniel Farke’s tactical secrets and Noah Okafor’s heroics.
Daniel Farke watched his Leeds United team claw their way back from 2-0 down at Chelsea and leave with a 2-2 draw.
Things looked bleak at first. Joao Pedro put Chelsea ahead in the first half, and Cole Palmer buried a penalty after the break. Chelsea controlled the game, and honestly, it felt like they were just cruising to a win.
But then Leeds woke up. In the space of six minutes, everything flipped. First, Moises Caicedo fouled Jayden Bogle in the box, and Lukas Nmecha stepped up and smashed home the penalty. Suddenly, Leeds had hope. Next, Bogle just wouldn’t quit; he battled his way into the box, somehow got the ball to Noah Okafor, and Okafor tapped in the equaliser.
“Proper night of football,” Farke said afterwards, still buzzing. “Great night for everyone with Leeds United. I’m so proud of my players; they deserve a lot of praise.
Chelsea are flying at the moment, winning in the Premier League, winning in the Champions League. And we come here as a newly promoted side, missing some key guys – Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Pascal Struijk – really the backbone of our team. Some players were only just back from injury, too.
“With Chelsea’s quality, going 2-0 down can mean a long, ugly night. But this team doesn’t give up. We believe we can always fight back.”
Farke admitted that going 2-0 down was partly Leeds’ own fault. He couldn’t figure out why Jaka Bijol shoved Joao Pedro in the box; he thought the penalty was soft, but still, it was a needless risk. Even after those mistakes, Farke felt his team earned the point with their mentality. Chelsea pushed late, but Leeds hung on.
Okafor’s equaliser followed his goal against Nottingham Forest last weekend, probably his best showing for Leeds so far. Farke said it wasn’t easy to leave him out of the starting lineup at Chelsea, but he had his reasons.
“It was tough, but I had to use my head, not my heart,” he explained.
“Noah needs a bit longer to recover because of his physical style. We figured our wingers would have to do a ton of defensive work, and honestly, that’s not their biggest strength.
“We planned to keep things tight, adjust our formation as the match went on, and throw more attackers on late. We didn’t plan to be 2-0 down, but the idea was always to go for it in the last 20 or 30 minutes. Credit to the players; they earned a massive point tonight.”
MAJOR OVERHAUL: REAL MADRID EYE CRISTIAN ROMERO AS MOHAMED SALAH NEARS SAUDI MOVE
Real Madrid target Spurs captain Cristian Romero, while Mo Salah nears a move to Al-Ittihad. Get the latest 2026 transfer news.
Romero is on his way out after Frank’s departure.
Tottenham’s problems might get even messier. Now that they’re without a manager, Real Madrid are circling Cristian Romero, their captain. Rumours about Romero leaving have been floating around for a while, but they’ve really picked up lately, ly especially since he called out the club’s recruitment strategy on social media.
Before he got the boot, Thomas Frank said he had “no idea” if Romero would stick around next season. Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Madrid want to strengthen their backline and see Romero, 27, as a real option.
“Everyone knows Madrisare is after a centre-back for next season. Lately, a bunch of names have popped up, and the newest is Tottenham’s Cristian Romero,” the article said. The story points to talk in England that Romero could leave, even though he’s still under contract.
His digs at the club’s management put him in the spotlight, and word is, he’s not happy in England.
Salah ready for Saudi switch
Mohamed Salah looks much more open to moving to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Ittihad interested in signing him after the 2025/26 season, according to Foot Mercato.
People have been linking Salah with a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League ever since the league started chasing Europe’s top talent. Add in his public fallout with Liverpool earlier this season, and it sounds like he’s thinking seriously about a change.
Salah hasn’t quite looked like himself this season. He’s managed just six goals and six assists in 25 games across a competition, ns a big drop for someone who helped fire Liverpool to the Premier League title not long ago.
Foot Mercato reports Salah’s camp is now in talks with Al-Ittihad, and this time, he’s a lot more interested than he was a year ago. “Unlike last year, Mo Salah is much more open to a move to Saudi Arabia,” the article said. “This could work out for everyone. Liverpool gets a fee, and Salah gets the final say.”
It’s worth noting: Al-Ittihad lost both their French stars, KariBenzemaaewhooa left for Al Hilal, and N’Golo Kante, who went to Fenerbahçe during the winter window.
SACKED: THOMAS FRANK FIRED BY TOTTENHAM AS THE "BIG SIX" MANAGERIAL CULL CONTINUES
Thomas Frank becomes the 7th Premier League manager sacked this season. Discover why Spurs acted and what it means for Arne Slot.
Half the managers who started the season in charge of the Premier League’s so-called Big Six have now been fired, with Thomas Frank the latest to go after leaving Tottenham.
Honestly, it’s been ages since the “Big Six” really meant six reliably top teams on the pitch, but Frank’s exit just shows how ruthless things get at the very top of soccer.
Frank can’t really argue with the decision. Over the last 20 games, the Spurs have dropped to 18th in the form table and sit just five points above the relegation zone. If Benjamin Sesko hadn’t buried that injury-time chance at the London Stadium on Tuesday, Tottenham would only be three points clear.
Frank is the seventh Premier League manager to lose his job already this season, joining Nuno Espírito Santo, Graham Potter, Ange Postecoglou, Vitor Pereira, Enzo Maresca, and Ruben Amorim.
Nuno lost his job at Forest after guiding them into Europe last year. Maresca and Amorim both had their teams in decent shape when they left Chelsea and United.
Arne Slot’s situation at Liverpool feels a little different. Slot still has a good relationship with people at the club, unlike Nuno, Maresca, and Amorim, who all fell out with their bosses. Nuno and Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, just couldn’t work together anymore. Maresca and Amorim got tired of constant power struggles at Chelsea and United.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes went out of his way to back Slot, even joining him on a recent episode of The Reds’ Roundtable. “Of course,e we talk about football and performances, but I always let Arne lead that,” Hughes said. “Naturally, ly in a conversation, I will come up with an opinion and not just react to Arne's, but always waiting for the right time to share these things is critical.
“We had synergy right from the first moment. Understanding who he is as a football manager, how he wants to work, and trying your best, and it's not always possible to put them in the best possible position to have all the tools they require, and that's what I feel my job is then.”
Having a good relationship with the higher-ups is nice, but results matter most. Both Slot and Hughes know Liverpool needed to start winning games if Slot wants to stay for the long haul.
Slot probably has more goodwill to burn than Frank ever did at Tottenham, but expectations are sky-high at Liverpool. He knows that as well as anyone.
