Leeds and Brentford Draw 1-1: Andrews Shares Insights

Brentford’s Keith Andrews Reflects on Draw at Elland Road

Brentford manager Keith Andrews shared his thoughts following the team’s 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road. In an interview with BBC Sport, Andrews praised his side’s performance in the first half, stating, “I thought first half we were magnificent. We got the lead and possibly could be more but we knew there would be changes. We couldn’t play out through those chaotic stages. It shows where we are at that we are disappointed coming away from Elland Road with a draw.”

Andrews highlighted the solid foundations laid during the previous season, expressing a desire to build on them. “It has been a good start to the season. We looked very calm and confident in the first half,” he noted. He also acknowledged the tactical acumen of Leeds manager Daniel Farke and the quality of Leeds’ squad, stating, “Never underestimate Daniel Farke – the way he sets up the team and the type of players Leeds have – they are very honest bunch.”

While Andrews expressed disappointment at not securing all three points, he remains optimistic. “Slightly disappointing to come away with a point but we will probably look back on it and think it is a good point,” he said. “We are growing all the time.”

In notable statistics from the match, Brentford made 22 attempts on goal, equaling their record for the most in a Premier League away game, previously set against West Ham in October 2025. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that Brentford has never lost a Premier League match when Kevin Schade has scored.
