Leeds United: Fans bemoan club’s inability to defend from set-pieces
Leeds United fans were left fuming once again on Twitter when they witnessed their side concede a goal from a set-piece in the first half.
Whilst the Whites managed to ensure the moment did not come back to haunt them as they ran out 2-1 victors over Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road.
Patrick Bamford had put the hosts in front from the penalty spot before Jack Harrison quickly doubled their advantage, however a set-piece play saw Marcelo Bielsa’s sides advantage reduced before half-time (Sky Sports).
Indeed, the Whites managed to do enough to get them all three points and keep the pressure on the likes of West Bromwich Albion and Preston North End at the top of the Championship.
However, it would appear a number of the supporters on Twitter are fearful about how they go about defending free-kicks and corners, with one believing they miss Pontus Jansson in those particular situations.
Here are just some of their reactions…
Kind of sums up #LUFC season so far, totally in control but slack defending from set pieces puts #BRFC back in the game. A game they should never be in. (via @StatsZone): pic.twitter.com/86yUcqmiI7

Curse of the set piece
Dead balls, our Achilles heel
