Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United have lost against Millwall.
The Whites suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Millwall away from home at The Den on Saturday afternoon.
The West Yorkshire outfit went down to 10 men as early as the 14th minute when Gaetano Berardi was sent off.
Jed Wallace scored from the penalty spot for Millwall on 16 minutes, and Tom Bradshaw doubled the advantage for the Lions on the stroke of half time.
Ezgjan Alioski halved the deficit for Leeds at the start of the second half, but the home team managed to pick up all there points from the encounter.
Leeds head coach Bielsa believes that his side were the better team, and that the result should have been different.
Bielsa told Leeds Live: “The result should be different. Each time we lose always I find few logical reasons to justify it.
“For me, it’s always a shame to explain why we lost. I think with 10 men we were better than them.
“Always, we are trying to explain why what we want doesn’t happen. It impacts the tolerance of the people who are listening.”
