Leeds United lost for the second time in the Championship this season as they were beaten 2-1 by Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Whites drew at home to Brentford before the international break, and were looking to get back to winning ways with a trip to Lancashire.

However, Leeds fell behind early on as Danny Graham powered home a header from Harrison Reed’s second minute corner.

Leeds did hit back before half time, as a fine pass from Samu Saiz picked out the run of Gaetano Berardi, and he squared for Mateusz Klich to convert.

Unfortunately for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, their defensive frailties from set pieces showed up again, as Darragh Lenihan headed come another corner to seal a 2-1 win for the hosts.

It was a disappointing performance from the Whites, and whilst fans were underwhelmed with many players, substitute Jack Clarke caught the eye once again.

The 17-year-old attacker came on as a 76th minute substitute, and really impressed fans, who have been taking to Twitter to call him ‘special’ after making a huge impact at Ewood Park.

Many are now calling for Bielsa to increase Clarke’s role and start him against Ipswich Town in midweek, with many believing he can provide a real spark for the Whites after another promising showing.
