Wigan Athletic’s Joshua Windass comments on the controversy between Leeds United and Aston Villa at Elland Road on Sunday.
What happened in the second half of the Championship game between Leeds United and Aston Villa at Elland Road at the weekend will be spoken about and discussed for days and weeks.
Mateusz Klich scored for the West Yorkshire outfit under controversial circumstances on 72 minutes.
Tyler Roberts kept the ball in play despite appearing to be ready to put it out for a throw-in following an injury to Jonathan Kodjia, and then released Klich to score.
Subsequently, there were confrontations between the two sets of players, and Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi was sent off.
Leeds allowed Villa to score from kickoff under the instructions of head coach Marcelo Bielsa, with Albert Adomah tucking the ball in.
Replays appeared to show that El Ghazi was wrongly dismissed for an alleged elbow on Leeds striker Patrick Bamford, who seemed to have simulated his fall.
Wigan Athletic star Joshua Windass was following the match, and he has given his take on the controversial incidents on Twitter.
The 25-year-old former Rangers player, who can operate as a midfielder or as a forward, has sympathy for 23-year-old winger El Ghazi, and also appears to have defended the Villa players for not playing to the whistle, while seemingly criticising Leeds duo Bamford and Roberts.
Interestingly, Windass was linked with a move to Leeds when he was still at Rangers, with The Daily Record reporting in January 2018 that the West Yorkshire outfit wanted to sign him.
