Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United side ran out 3-2 winners against Aston Villa yesterday.

Kemar Roofe has told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Leeds United’s match with Aston Villa, that Marcelo Bielsa was urging his side to keep a tight defence yesterday.

Bielsa’s Leeds side ran out 3-2 winners at Villa Park, but things did not go entirely according to play for the Whites.

Bielsa had spent most of his pre-match team-talk urging Leeds to keep a clean sheet.

However, the Whites were quickly 2-0 down in the first-half, as Villa came flying out of the blocks.

And Roofe said: “The gaffer told us don’t concede and we’ll win the game. The only thing is, first half we did concede, second half we didn’t and we went on and won the game.”

Roofe was the scorer of Leeds’ winning goal, as they remarkably turned around the match.

Jack Clarke initially jinked his way into the box before finishing well to put Leeds back in contention, before Pontus Jansson crashed home a header from a corner.

It was then down to Roofe to complete the scoring, as he finished brilliantly in the final minute to help his side take the three points.
