00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farka was full of praise for League 2 Harrogate Town, who

00:07his side defeated in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday 1-0 at Elland Road. Farka

00:12was impressed with the way that Harrogate defended during the game, keeping Leeds at

00:17bay for large parts of the encounter. Farka also admitted that he had to rotate some of

00:22his squad with important championship fixtures to come in the next few weeks, but always

00:29knew that the game against Harrogate would be difficult regardless of who played, given

00:33the opposition would be playing the game of their lives, as he put it. He was, however,

00:38pleased to make it through to the fourth round of the competition. In round four, the Whites

00:44will play the winner of Millwall and Dagenham and Redbridge, which is due to take place

00:48on Monday evening, but for now, their attention will turn back to the championship in remaining

00:54at the top of the division, with promotion very much still the aim.
