Leeds United returned to action on Saturday afternoon, as Marcelo Bielsa’s side took on Millwall in the Championship.

The West Yorkshire outfit headed into the match against Millwall away from home at The Den with confidence and were aiming to pick up all three points.

Millwall, though, made it tough for the Whites and held them to a 1-1 draw in the Championship match.

After a goalless first half, Jed Wallace put the home team in the lead 10 minutes into the second half.

Jack Harrison, who joined Leeds on loan from Premier League club Manchester City in the summer transfer window, found the equaliser for the visiting side on 89 minutes.

The draw with Millwall means that Bielsa’s side remain at the top of the Championship table with 15 points from seven matches, a point clear of second-placed Brentford.

A number of Leeds players have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the team’s draw with Millwall, including defender Barry Douglas and Chelsea-owned midfielder Lewis Baker.

Meanwhile, Leeds defender Liam Cooper has praised his teammate and 21-year-old Harrison – who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder – for scoring the late equaliser for the Whites.
