Aston Villa and Leeds United played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
Aston Villa fans on Twitter have mocked Leeds United attacker Kemar Roofe for flinching over what goalkeeper Sam Johnstone did on Friday night.
In the 93rd minute of Friday’s 1-1 draw at Elland Road, Roofe appeared to obstruct the Aston Villa man from throwing the ball out quickly.
In response, Johnstone gestured as if he was going to throw the ball at the Leeds man’s face, causing him to flinch a little.
One Aston Villa fan recorded the Sky Sports footage and posted it to Twitter, but Roofe, a £3 million signing 18 months ago, was quick to joke that he was not scared and simply tried to dodge the ball.
But fans of the West Midlands club were quick to call his bluff.

Leeds had taken a first-half lead through Pontus Jansson, but Henri Lansbury struck 20 minutes from the end to deny United what would have been a third win in four games.
Thomas Christiansen’s side are five points adrift of the top six, and six points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa.
