Daniel Farke said the manner of Leeds United's pulsating 3-3 draw at Hull City was heartbreaking after seeing his side squander a commanding MKM Stadium lead.

City roared a goal in front after just five minutes when Abu Kamara expertly lobbed Illan Meslier and it should have been 2-0 later in the first half when Regan Slater hit the post with the goal at his mercy.

Leeds turned things on their head in the second half once Ao Tanaka curled in the equaliser a minute into the second half, and ex-Tiger Dan James made it 2-1 before Joel Piroe took advantage of an Ivor Pandur error to make it three, leaving Ruben Selles facing a second defeat in as many home outings, before their grandstand finish.

City rallied, though, and grabbed a way back into the game when Meslier made a mess of Sean McLoughlin's routine header to allow Joao Pedro to thump in from a yard out, and the goalkeeper was involved again when he failed to come for a corner, which was headed straight to Kamara who guided in a fine volley to make it 3-3 and lift the roof off a sold-out MKM Stadium,

“Disappointed is probably the right word,” the German told reporters. “First half, we were not sharp enough. If we allow ourselves to be two per cent less on it then it's difficult in this league to win points. In both boxes, it was the case. We didn't finish off good situations. Our finishing was not spot on and I don't think we've conceded a cheaper goal the whole season than when we conceded. They could have scored a second.

“Second half, I have to say great reaction, and we executed in a perfect manner what we spoke about at half-time. We could have scored four, five or six - Daniel James one against one to bury the game completely. It's difficult to explain how we conceded two late goals without them really having a chance. Somehow they were able to score out of situations when you can normally never score. If you concede three, it's difficult to win the games. Created so many chances, scored three, to drive away with just one point is heartbreaking and disappointing. That's the overwhelming feeling at the moment.

“A point in an away game that keeps you on top; there are worse things like that. After this game, we can allow ourselves to be a bit down and disappointed it's not three points."
