Daniel Farke still wasn't fully satisfied as Leeds United won 4-1 against Newcastle United.

The Whites couldn't have hoped for much better when they welcomed Matthias Jaissle's side to Elland Road on Monday.

Given that the North East outfit were unbeaten until this point, it looked set to be a difficult encounter.

It certainly didn't turn out that way as the hosts had a 4-0 lead with less than 60 minutes on the clock.

That was thanks to a Lewis Miley own goal and further efforts from Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor.

Despite all that, Farke still vented his frustration as he was seen going mad on the sidelines, but why?

Why was Daniel Farke angry vs Newcastle United?

There was very little to hold against the LS11 outfit in their fourth Premier League outing of the campaign.

Scoring four at home is always a massive plus as many top individual performances chipped into a stunning team effort.

You can't always be perfect and that was shown by a few hairy moments from James Trafford throughout the night.

The 23-year-old would ultimately concede late as Bazoumana Toure found the net in the 90th minute.

That saw Leeds' clean sheet wiped out and it's fair to say that Farke wasn't happy with his players.

Don Goodman was on co-commentary duties for Sky Sports and spotted the angry reaction from the Leeds boss.

He said: "I look down at Daniel Farke and his reaction was fury. Absoulte fury."

That continued after the full-time whistle and it is fair given how little threat Newcastle posed throughout.

What is Leeds United's recent clean sheet record?

The reason why the German will be so annoyed is that his side just don't keep enough clean sheets.

Considering how good the likes of Tarik Muharemovic, Jaka Bijol and Co. have been for Leeds, they haven't featured in enough shut outs.

The Whites have failed to concede just once in the Premier League this season, the joint-second least this campaign.

It was a similar story last campaign as the Yorkshire outfit only managed eight clean sheets across 38 games.

That ranked them 15th in the Premier League below Tottenham and just one more than relegated West Ham.

Farke will be angry over that statistic and that boiled over on Monday night.

If Leeds want to rise up the Premier League table, that stat needs to improve and quick.
