The German boss handed Jayden Bogle his first Premier League start for the Whites, and the former Sheffield United full-back repaid that faith with a composed, energetic display that underpinned Leeds’ success.
Bogle was instrumental on both sides of the pitch – providing width and attacking support down the right flank while remaining disciplined defensively to limit Everton’s forward threats. His overlapping runs stretched the Toffees’ backline, while his pace and work rate ensured Leeds always had an outlet in transition.
Farke, who has spoken openly about the need to take calculated risks with his squad this season, saw his gamble pay off as Bogle’s contribution gave Leeds an extra edge in wide areas. The 24-year-old’s link-up play with the midfield allowed the hosts to maintain control in key spells, and his defensive awareness late on helped preserve their clean sheet.
With competition for places fierce, Bogle’s performance not only justified his manager’s decision but also gave Leeds another reliable option as they look to build momentum in the Premier League. Farke will be encouraged that his willingness to trust new signings is already shaping the team’s identity and delivering results.
