Leeds United suffered a set-back as they looked to go back to the top of the Championship table, only to end up losing to promotion chasers Sheffield United.
Blades had Chris Basham to thank after he hit home the winner from 20 yards following after Billy Sharp capitalising on a mistake by Leeds captain Liam Cooper to run towards goal and deliver the ball into his teammate’s path.
The hosts had chances and Tyler Roberts hit the post, but ended up having not a single shot on target, and even saw Pontus Jansson having to go in goal after Kiko Casilla was sent off for bringing down Billy Sharp 25 yards from goal in the 91st minute.
The result meant Sheffield United leapfrogged Leeds into second and two points behind Norwich City in first, however the Canaries went on to win their 3pm kick off to go five clear of the Whites in third.
After the Yorkshire clash, Marcelo Bielsa and his translator spoke in a post-match interview with Sky Sports, but it got very awkward.
Understandably, he was frustrated with his team’s performance, and that showed when talking to reporter Jonathan Oates, where he wasn’t very descriptive in his answers.
After being asked why his side weren’t able to make a breakthrough in the game, Bielsa asked: “Do you think that we deserved to win?”
Towards the end, the interviewer asked about how it would effect the promotion race, Bielsa said “You’re not answering my question” which then led to the Sky Sports reporter trying to finish up, Bielsa gave the look of ‘I see what you’re doing, it isn’t finishing here’, which then saw Oates saying that “we’re short for time” then the Leeds boss looked at his watch with a smirk on his face.

Fans quickly took to social media after watching the video to give their reaction, and it’s fair to say there was also love for Marcelo Bielsa’s daggers made at Jonathan Oates – find out what they had to say on the next page.
