Ian Wright has praised the Leeds United fans on Match of the Day on BBC One for singing about both Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch against Leicester City.
The Arsenal legend was pleased to see Leeds fans sing about Bielsa and his successor Marsch against Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon, saying that it was “brilliant”.
Leeds lost the match 1-0.
It was American boss Marsch’s first game in charge of Leeds.
The West Yorkshire club recently sacked Bielsa as their head coach following a run of poor results.
Ian Wright on Leeds United fans
Wright said: “Leeds fans were brilliant today, songs for Jesse Marsch and Bielsa. It’s brilliant.”
Encouraging display
In our view, Leeds played well against Leicester and were probably unlucky not to get at least a point from the encounter.
A defensive error from Stuart Dallas cost Leeds the three points.
Leeds were better and more solid defensively against Leicester than they had been in their last few games under Bielsa.
What was also disappointing was that Leeds could not take the chances that they created.
The West Yorkshire club took 19 shots, but only four of them were on target.
Leeds remain in deep trouble of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
