Leeds United’s players were not the only ones delighting fans during the 3-0 win over Watford.

At one point during the game, the ball came flying in Farke’s direction. Instead of catching it or avoiding the ball like many would, he brought it under control with a stunning first touch.

It was a case of rolling back the years for Farke, who plied his trade as a forward in his native Germany before stepping into management.

The touch was caught on camera and has been shared on social media platform X by the official Leeds account.

It prompted an enthusiastic reaction from a crowd already lapping up the on-pitch entertainment, and many jumped to their feet to applaud the 46-year-old.
