Daniel Farke admitted the challenge of rebuilding Leeds United is 'one hell of a task' on an emotionally-charged night at Elland Road.
Brandon Thomas-Asante struck a controversial opener in the 52nd minute when Jayson Molumby's shot deflected in off his hand – but with no VAR in the Championship the goal stood.
Yet Daniel Farke's men – roared on by their vociferous crowd – got the equaliser they deserved 18 minutes when the impressive Dan James crossed from the left and captain Luke Ayling headed home at the far post.
The celebrations came against a backdrop of anger in the home stands with supporters voicing their disgust at Willy Gnonto as he looks to jump ship from Elland Road.
