Leeds United fans have been left fuming after the FA revealed some news regarding the club’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham earlier on this season. The club’s chief executive, Angus Kinnear praised the FA after they made it clear that the linesman was wrong to award the West London side a penalty in the Yorkshire outfit’s 2-1 defeat last month (via Leeds Live).
However, that will prove little consolation to Marcelo Bielsa’s side as the result in the capital was the beginning of a poor run of form. The Championship side had gone 11 games without defeat, however, the Whites have now won just of their last six games following the game (via WhoScored).
Fans were left feeling angry after it was made clear the club were on the wrong end of a refereeing decision as they took to Twitter to react. With that in mind, here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful following the news:
So can we declare the game 1-1 and take 2pts off Fulham & add a point to our total. Can we heck, so what is the point of telling us from EFL/FA other than to annoy us? #lufc #MOT

That’s the 2nd penalty that has been deemed wrong, but it doesn’t change the results does it ? Still lost both games !
