[Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

So, with Sanchez playing, he saves both shots but concedes a soft one and we win 2-1. I'll take that.

Obviously I'd take that too if we can be sure that is what would've happened. But we're not, so it's all a bit pointless.

The first Leeds equaliser was lucky anyway, if it hadn't clipped Webster's outstretched leg it would never have gone in - Steele, Sanchez or 1970s Gordon Banks.

Bamford. He's always a handful isn't he - and he was again today. Not just his goals - but his little touches and passes setting players away. I was glad to see him go off, but then they bought on Gnonto instead - and he caused no end of problems for us.

Behave, Bamford is a championship level striker IMO. You didn’t watch the same game as me. He was anonymous for the most part, one speculative shot which was going straight at Steele….
We absolutely bossed that first half, a massive slice of luck changed the game, along with some woeful finishing, again, from Mac. Although we could learn something from Bamford, if you don’t shoot…..

The ref really pissed me off with some of the tackles he let Leeds get away with early in the game, especially against Ali Mac but as the game went on it was clear he was trying to let the game flow and treated tackles from both sides in the same manner.

Although I was irritated that we didn’t win, that was a very watchable game of football with very few histrionics, virtually no gamesmanship and a ref who didn‘t crave the limelight.

Having just watched the highlights to be fair to Leeds they scored two very well taken goals so maybe not such a bad result, but it sounded like we had plenty of chances to score though and Welbeck should’ve just gone round the keeper on the one on one IMO and then either he can just tap in to an empty net or the keeper would probably bring him down.

I haven’t read the thread as was at the game. I would imagine it’s been mentioned but what an immense performance from Dunk. So much of de Zerbi ball is dependent upon him breaking up play and being the first pass forward. Best player on the pitch.
