Cardiff manager Erol Bulut:
"We knew how important and how difficult the game would be for us. The plan was to stay compact and not allow the opponents chances and to counter well.
"But after 23 minutes we were only with 10 men and then we conceded after 30 minutes against a team like Leeds, with the quality they have, it's not easy to come back and change the game.
"In the first half, we invited them for chances because we lost the ball too easily. Too many easy, individual mistakes. When you do this against Leeds, the offence they have, if you invite them they take it."
Leeds manager Daniel Farke:
"In this league, it's hard to win games on the road. What we are delivering on the road, we are hard to play against. Seven points. No goals conceded. Close to perfect on the road.
"Nearly 80% possession. Dominated the game in this way. Gave no chances away apart from the scene after our second goal celebrations.
"We should have buried the game earlier. Our conversion rate was the only thing I could criticise. You can always concede out of nothing in this league, so the conversion rate was the issue for me. We will keep working on this."
