Liam Rosenior said on Sky Sports Football last Saturday evening (7:39pm, February 2, 2019) that Leeds United central defender Pontus Jansson will be devastated for the first Norwich City goal at the weekend.

Norwich got the better of Leeds 3-1 away from home at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday evening and are now at the top of the league table on goal difference.

The Canaries took the lead as early as the fifth minute when Mario Vrancic scored from a deflected free kick.

It was Jansson who gave away the free kick, as the Sweden international centre-back committed a foul on Onel Hernandez.

Former Brighton and Hove Albion and Hull City defender Rosenior believes that the 27-year-old – who joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal from Torino in the summer of 2016 and made the move permanent in the summer of 2017 for a fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £3.5 million – will be devastated that he conceded the free kick from which Norwich scored their opening goal.
