Leeds United played out an enthralling, but controversial 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon – but Leeds fans want one player dropped from the side for the play-offs.

The game was aggressive throughout, with plenty of tough tackles flying in – including Liam Cooper’s full-blooded attempt to win the ball on Villa captain Jack Grealish in the first half.

But the game went from feisty to dramatic late on, as Mateusz Klich scored with Jonathan Kodjia down injured. A mass brawl ensued, leaving Anwar El Ghazi red carded. Marcelo Bielsa ordered his side to let Villa make it 1-1.

Amid all the drama, Leeds fans discussed their side’s performance on Twitter. Many feel the momentum is back at Elland Road, after missing out on the play-offs. But some criticised winger Jack Harrison.

Harrison, 22, has started the last 23 matches for Leeds. He has scored four goals this season, creating three more. But against Villa, he was hooked at half-time and replaced by Tyler Roberts.

Wales international Roberts was much more influential and provided the controversial assist for Klich’s goal. He changed the game, pushing Leeds onto the front foot.

Leeds fans discussed the half-time switch on Twitter, and the majority want to see Manchester City loanee Harrison dropped for the play-offs – and replaced by Roberts.
