Leeds made it 14 games unbeaten in all competitions as they pounced on two lapses in concentration from Frank Lampard's Coventry on Wednesday.
Joel Piroe put the Whites ahead at CBS Arena, where Jayden Bogle doubled their tally before the interval.
Leeds could have had a penalty when Brenden Aaronson was barged into by Joel Latibeaudiere, while they missed a glut of chances to extend their lead, having 20 shots overall and finishing with 2.7 expected goals.
And finishing is an area Farke wants to see improvement in.
He said: "To show such a performance and such a fully deserved win is quite impressive, I'm happy with so many details, how we dominated the game, how we built up, how we created chances.

"It was also crazy how we didn't get a penalty for the tackle on Brenden Aaronson. But I’m a bit critical, definitely, about our [lack] of cutting edge."
Coventry had won their last four matches and were on a six-match unbeaten streak at home under Lampard.
Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.
"It is a great honour to be nominated for the FIH Player of the Year Award again," the Indian defender stated in a Hockey India release.
Leeds, who have lost just three of their last 22 games against Coventry, are now five points clear of Burnley in second and Sheffield United in thirdpera play, though the Blades do have a game in hand.
