Patrick Bamford and Pontus Jansson made headlines for Leeds United on Sunday.

Angus Kinnear took on the role of comedian during Leeds United’s end-of-season award ceremony on Sunday and roasted a number of Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

The ceremony took place after Leeds’ controversial 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Elland Road.

Anwar El Ghazi was sent off for the visitors after a second-half melee for an incident with Patrick Bamford.

The Whites hitman went to ground clutching his face, but television replays indicate that the Villa winger made no contact with him.

When play resumed, Pontus Jansson attempted to prevent Dean Smith’s side from walking in an equaliser after Leeds’ controversial opener.

Kinnear said, via LUTV: “Today once again proved that there’s no better place to be than Elland Road. It’s never dull, even when Pontus is told not to defend he doesn’t listen.

“I’m also pleased to report that Patrick has completely recovered from his nasty facial blow.”

Leeds, who took the lead through Mateusz Klich after Aston Villa stopped playing due to an injury, saw their automatic promotion chances die as a result of the draw.

If Bielsa’s side are going to win Premier League promotion, it’ll have to come through the playoffs.

United will confirm their third-place finish if they avoid defeat in next Sunday’s trip to relegated Ipswich Town.
