Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues scoring streak as Leeds rescue point at Brentford

Asked if he would soon recommend Calvert-Lewin to fellow German and England manager Tuchel, Farke smiled and said: “I have got such a good relationship with Thomas that I am far away from giving any recommendation.

“He will know exactly what he needs to win the World Cup, but it is for each player the same.

“If you deliver with consistency and not just one or two games, or a good week or a good month, this is not enough, but if you deliver with consistency, then each and every manager or coach in the world is aware and will be ready.

“Dominic has proven this before. He has many caps for England and has also a good goal record.

“I think these goals are even more remarkable for a promoted side that can’t play [as] dominant [as] sides fighting for the title, so he will have chances to be in the spotlight.

“My relationship with Thomas is so close and he knows if he has any questions, he can call my number and we can speak about it. It always depends on the performances and I think [the] sky is the limit for Dominic.

“He was very unlucky in the last couple of years with injuries, but his quality was never in doubt and his CV speaks for itself.

“For me, he is one of the best English strikers in this league. Harry Kane is playing in Germany for Bayern Munich, but in the Premier League, he is definitely one of the best English strikers and he will be a key player for us going forward.”

The Leeds manager admitted he was “happy” with a point, but felt they could have won a tight game.

Noah Okafor, Leeds’ lively Swiss forward, squandered a number of chances before Jordan Henderson put Brentford ahead against the run of play with his first goal for the club in the 70th minute.
