Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United lost to Norwich City at Elland Road at the weekend.

Dean Ashton has criticised Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul on the EFL show on Quest TV for his action after the match against Leeds United at the weekend.

Towards the end of the 3-1 win against Marcelo Bielsa’s side away from home at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday evening, Norwich goalkeeper Krul was involved in an altercation with Leeds forward Patrick Bamford.

The former Newcastle United goalkeeper appeared to aim a headbutt towards Bamford.

Former Norwich striker Ashton believes that there was no need for Krul to get involved in the incident when they had already won the match.

Ashton said about Krul the EFL show on Quest TV: “I can’t understand it. Why get involved at all? Why now give the authorities the opportunity to give you a ban when you have won the game 3-1?”

Promotion push

Norwich have been the surprise package in the Championship so far this season, and the Canaries are going strong.

The win against Leeds means that Norwich are now at the top of the league table on goal difference, and the Carrow Road faithful will hope that the team now build on the victory and maintain their pole position in the standings.
