Leeds United defender could not prevent his side sliding to defeat.
Pontus Jansson came back to reality last night as Leeds United slipped to defeat to Fulham.
A week ago Jansson was captaining Sweden for the first time, and on Friday he featured in their win over Bolton, just their second victory on 2018.
Last night they went up against a strong Fulham team battling for automatic promotion and were simply outclassed.
Jansson and co were given the runaround defensively, but looked particularly poor on set pieces in the first half.
Fulham’s first goal came from a corner, and a frustrated Jansson was booked minutes later for dissent after teammate Ezgjan Alioski was fouled.

Seeing him feature as part of a defensive unit easily taken apart last night provided more concern for fans.
