Leeds fans fume at Aston Villa footage

Leeds fans fume at Aston Villa footage which showed the two side’s controversial draw from the 2018/19 Championship season.

It was looking like it was going to be a bore draw, however a memorable moment from the game changed it up completely.

Mateusz Klich scored a second half goal, but it came after striker Jonathan Kodjia suffered an injury.

Dean Smith’s players expected Leeds to put the ball out, instead they counter-attacked to open the scoring.

Tempers well and truly spilled over, both on the touchline and on the pitch, which ended up seeing Anwar El Ghazi sent off for violent conduct, that ended up being reversed, and instead Patrick Bamford was banned for deception.

After the one of a kind incident, Marcelo Bielsa ordered his Leeds side to let Villa score an unopposed equaliser, with Albert Adomah applying the final touch.

OTD in 2019…

The game would finish 1-1 and Villa went on to win promotion a month later, with the West Yorkshire side losing in the semi final to Derby.

With it a year to the day since it happened, Sky Sports uploaded the Aston Villa footage, which then saw Leeds fans fume…

Leeds did nothing wrong

Wasn’t a knock to the head.
Ref never blew his whistle.
Bit of confusion, Leeds was quick to react, villas fault for acting like school boys imo.

Leeds bottled automatic promotion because of that match #LUFC ???

Literally did nothing wrong, the ref played on, end of.

Another iconic Neil Taylor assist

Context is everything. Minutes before villa put out the ball for Leeds. Leeds then took the piss like that. Bamford went diving to the floor. It was not only right, but they deserved getting embarrassed by derby in the semis.

Also, the match was a dead rubber. Both teams had missed automatic promotion but were guaranteed play offs. What Bielsa did was admirable but this narrative that he risked promotion by doing it is absolute nonsense.

The commentary said they looked to put it out but I fail to see where that happened? To me it seems like Villa stopped playing in hope it’d be put out but were not playing to the whistle whereas Leeds did?

If Tyler Roberts wouldn’t of been a shit house and pretend to stop instead of sending the ball down the line it might not have been that bad ???

Terry at 2:52 always kills me??

— RhysKyle (@RhysShrimps) April 28, 2020

All down to the ref not taking control.

Absolutely buzzing if you had BTTS. ?

Villa made it to the Premier league, you probably forgot what it feels like to play there as you’ve spent more time out of the top division than in it

Should have listened to his manager. I’d want the players to listen to Harris!
