DF: "He represents so many skills we want for Leeds United. He works his socks off, gives everything for the team, relentless work, not perfect, but gives always everything. It's more than unfair. In his last three performances, he was always covering 13km per game." #lufc

DF on Aaronson inclusion: "Brenden polarises and can be annoying, even for myself, because he's sometimes not straightforward and can be a bit hectic. I also have to say what we are doing, criticising this young man, then we don't have to do all these mental health awareness days anyhow." #lufc

Asked Farke if he'd had reassurances on his future.
DF: "We don't have to speak about this topic. This is not a topic I think one second about. Since I walked into this club, I've always said in every press conference, if you can't handle the heat, don't become a manager of Leeds United." #lufc

DF: "(Chants for a sub) totally okay. Everyone has opinion. Everyone would have different line-ups and different subs. I have done this job long time and I will not do roundtable before every game. Brenden is not the most liked guy, but he is a workhorse and makes us solid on the right." #lufc

DF: "We need six more wins and a few draws to stay up. We still have home game against everyone around us to come. We have enough to get the points we need to stay up. Brave today, I liked that. Conceding too many goals down our left side." #lufc

Farke here.
DF: "I didn't realise (a fan approached the dugout). After the game, I don't want the fans to be happy after a loss. We are disappointed we didn't win. We have to concentrate on the performances. Don't focus on the fear of the next three fixtures." #lufc

Emery answering questions.
"Very happy because we were challenged in this match after the break. First half was not the rhythm we wanted. Did not play brilliant. Second half, they got tired and we dominated more." #lufc

Boos at the final whistle. Leeds 1-2 Villa. A fifth defeat in six. Points fall behind games played. In the bottom three. League giants ahead. This was a better performance, but not enough to really turn the tide. #lufc

Can't hear the referee's explanation on the speakers, but the goal's been disallowed for the handball. Calvert-Lewin didn't know anything about it as it deflected off Martinez. Gnonto and Piroe on for Aaronson and Okafor. #lufc

Tanaka, who only came on in the first half himself, is off for Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha is off for James in the 71st minute. Farke takes a moment to explain it to a disconsolate Tanaka. #lufc

Frustration with Aaronson in the stands boils over. Leeds counter from a Villa corner. Bogle and the team carry to the Villa third, then gives it to Aaronson, who twists himself in knots before giving it away for a Villa counter that goes right back to the home area. #lufc

Perri parries a Watkins shot. Thankfully, Struijk was there to assist, but it's a mess Perri should not have spilt. #lufc

McGinn booked for fouling Gudmundsson, much to Elland Road's overdue satisfaction. Prior to that, there were penalty appeals for a pull on Nmecha by Torres. Ignored. #lufc

Another decent corner. Struijk couldn't quite get onto it. Torres's clearance goes as far as an Aaronson volley from the edge. Martinez gets down well to stop it. Nmecha then puts a big tackle in on Rogers, which brings the crowd to its feet. #lufc
