Leeds United manager Daniel Farke did not hold back his admiration following a commanding 3-1 victory over Burnley, specifically praising German midfielder Anton Stach as his standout performer of the season. On a night where Leeds all but secured Premier League safety, Stach marked his return to the starting lineup with a sublime long-range strike that set the tone for a dominant display at Elland Road.
​Farke’s post-match comments shifted the spotlight onto a performance he described as a professional masterclass. “For me, he is the best,” Farke remarked during his press conference. “Not just for what he did today against a tough Burnley side, but for his consistency. He understands the game at a level that makes everyone around him better.”
​Stach, a £17.4m summer signing from Hoffenheim, has become a cornerstone of Farke’s tactical blueprint. Despite a mid-season rib injury, the 6-foot-4 titan has recorded five league goals—four of which have come from outside the box. His ability to dictate the tempo and turn over possession was vital in neutralising Burnley’s efforts.
​For the Elland Road faithful, Farke’s high praise confirms Stach’s status as a transformative signing. As Leeds moves to 43 points and looks toward the final games of the campaign, their “best” man seems destined for a place in the Germany World Cup squad.
