LONDON - Leeds United manager Daniel Farke was left dumbfounded by his side's 4-0 drubbing by Queens Park Rangers on Friday, a result that left Leeds's automatic promotion hopes in tatters and saw Leicester promoted to the Premier League.

"It's difficult to find an explanation for the first 20 minutes," Farke told a press conference.

"We lacked the basics. The basics are to run, to fight, to invest, to be brave, to be compact as a team. We were lacking this in the first 20 minutes."
