da roleta: Leeds United fans on Twitter were left fuming on Monday night as West Bromwich Albion netted a late winner against Preston North End to return to the top of the Championship table.
da spicy bet: Being leapfrogged is annoying enough, but fans were furious as the Baggies’ goal came courtesy of a penalty that was won via a blatant dive from Kyle Edwards.
The above clip shows that there simply wasn’t any contact between the attacker and the goalkeeper, yet a penalty was given and duly dispatched by Charlie Austin.
This means that the Midlands outfit return to the summit of the Championship table with the Whites training Slaven Bilic’s side by two points.
Understandably, a number of Leeds fans had some rather strong opinions on the matter, and they took to Twitter to share their frustrations.
Some supporters were desperate to see Edwards handed a retrospective ban for his actions.
It remains to be seen whether or not the West Brom man will be suspended for this piece of place, but he is guilty of successfully deceiving a match official so he should be slapped with a sanction.
As with any refereeing decision in football nowadays, the debate inevitably went back to VAR.
Leeds fans were clamouring for the introduction of the video assistant referee to the EFL after this decision, and even if you’re anti-VAR you have to say that you understand where the fanbase are coming from on this occasion.
Meanwhile, stats show that one Leeds man may have turned a corner this weekend.
