From the source
Leeds United suffered another frustrating afternoon at Bournemouth, but Daniel Farke refused to let James Trafford’s costly mistake overshadow an otherwise encouraging away performance. The Whites lost 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium, with the goalkeeper’s error proving decisive despite Leeds showing enough promise to suggest the result could have been different.
Speaking after the defeat, Farke described the incident as a self-inflicted own goal and admitted it changed the contest. However, the Leeds manager quickly shifted attention towards his goalkeeper’s wider contribution, reminding fans that Trafford has already rescued valuable points this season.
“It’s the life of a football player. Farke told BBC Sport, as relayed by Sky Sports. “It was self-inflicted, an own goal. Overall we played a good away game.
