Leeds United fans on Twitter are calling for Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul to receive a retrospective ban.

Norwich beat Leeds 3-1 at Elland Road on Saturday evening to move above the Whites into top spot in the Championship.

It was a huge game for both sides and, as a result, tempers spilled over at times, but especially after the game.

Leeds striker Patrick Bamford – who grabbed a late consolation for the hosts – and Krul seemed to be embroiled in a post-match spat after the Dutch keeper ran in his direction and then appeared to aim a headbutt at Bamford.

And here’s how fans of the Elland Road club reacted to the incident.

Krul was perhaps fortunate to avoid a first-half red card after completely clearing out Tyler Roberts after the Leeds man ran in on goal, but referee Stuart Atwell only brandished a yellow.

Time will tell whether the former Newcastle star receives any retrospective punishment for the incident with Bamford at the end, but it’s abundantly clear what Whites fans believe.
