Farke then told his press conference: “We’re suffering a lot in this moment and deeply disappointed.
“We have come so close after overall a terrific season. I can’t say we were the worse team in this final. But they were able to be clinical.
“Southampton defended really well, they were a bit more effective and it’s the reason we lost the game.
“Congratulations to them, but it hurts a lot.”
He continued: “After you lose a final, it would be too early to be there with upbeat messages. No one wants to hear it.
“There were many tears on the pitch and in the dressing room. It’s important to take the disappointment as extra motivation.
“It will be difficult to come back stronger because we were there with 90 points.
“But to be there with the perfect outcome, to call yourself a Premier League side, this is obviously something we want.”

Daniel Farke has looked back on a ‘difficult day’.
“Congratulations to Southampton,” the Leeds boss told Sky Sports.
“They were able to be effective today. They defended really, really well during the whole game.
“That’s football. We had more possession, more shots, more expected goals. We dominated the game in many spells but their defending was a little bit more effective than us.
“It’s always important to be good in both boxes. We started the game totally on the front foot and had many good situations but in the final third, we were not that committed to the attack.
“On this level, when you play in a final, you have to be spot on.
“It’s a bit written in the stars, sometimes it’s not meant to be.
“It’s a difficult day for us. A day of suffering but that’s football. You have to get on with it.”
