Leeds United lost Gaetano Berardi in controversial fashion yesterday.
Gaetano Berardi picked up his eighth card for Leeds United in Saturday’s defeat by Millwall.
Knowing the no-nonsense Swiss defender, the first seven were more than likely warranted, but the eighth seemed just a tad harsh.
Berardi was accused of tripping Tom Bradshaw inside the penalty area during yesterday’s trip to The Den, resulting in the hosts scoring from the spot and the Leeds star heading down the tunnel.
But television replays indicate that the United centre-back made no contact with Bradshaw, with Leeds fans tweeting the EFL on Twitter and calling for the Lions striker to be banned for diving.
It happened only 14 minutes into the game, meaning that it gave Marcelo Bielsa’s side a huge uphill task from that point on
And here’s how Andy Couzens reacted to the incident on Twitter:
Despite having 10 men, Leeds, trailing 2-0 at the break, scored within 15 seconds of the restart to throw themselves a huge lifeline, but the visitors couldn’t find an equaliser.
Bielsa’s side dropped to fifth in the Championship, but only two points separate them and West Brom at the summit.
