Leeds United were knocked out of the FA Cup by Sutton United.

Vinnie Jones has defended Leeds United boss Garry Monk on Twitter, after he came under criticism for his team selection in the FA Cup.

Leeds were knocked out of the FA Cup by Sutton United in one of the major shocks of the fourth round.

However, Jones insists that Monk was correct to make so many changes for the tie against the non-leaguers.

Leeds put out a number of youngsters and fringe players against Sutton, and rarely threatened to get through.

Sutton ultimately deserved their victory, with a penalty from James Collins proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Leeds are currently in fourth place in the Championship table, and will be determined to bounce back from disappointment with a victory tomorrow.

Leeds are in action tonight, when they take on struggling Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
