The Whites remain just one point clear of Norwich at the top of the Championship table after they went down 2-1 at the Bet365 Stadium.
Leeds United failed to restore their four-point lead at the top of the Championship table after they fell to a 2-1 defeat away at Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
Title rivals Norwich City trimmed the Whites’ lead to one point with their 3-1 win over Birmingham City on Friday, putting the pressure firmly on Marcelo Bielsa’s charges.
Leeds were level with Stoke at half time but Sam Clucas gave Nathan Jones’ side the lead in the 49th minute when he finished off from a cross into the area.
The visitors’ task of getting level was made even more difficult when referee Gavin Ward sent Pontus Jansson off with a second yellow card on 76 minutes.
Stoke then doubled their lead two minutes from time through Joe Allen before Ezgjan Alioski headed home what turned out to be a consolation deep into injury time.
Following the shock defeat to the Potters, some Leeds fans took to Twitter and voiced their thoughts:
Leeds are back in Championship action next Saturday at 3pm when they travel to the New York Stadium for a game against Rotherham United.
