Leeds United fans on social networking site Twitter have strongly criticised Brentford star Ollie Watkins.

Watkins, who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, was in action for Brentford against Leeds away from home at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The 22-year-old earned the visiting team a penalty just after the hour mark when he went inside inside the Leeds box.

The former Exeter City star appeared to be heading into the ground before Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell made contact with him.

Leeds fans on Twitter are not happy with Watkins and have strongly criticised the Brentford attacker.
