According to Phil Dawkes, Jesse Marsch was left angered by Hwang Hee-chan as Leeds and Wolves clashed in the Premier League earlier today.
What’s the story?
Well, the BBC journalist noticed the American lose his temper after the South Korean threw himself to the ground right in front of the dugout at Elland Road, under minimal contact.
Dawkes wrote: “After the initial gut punch of falling behind, the home crowd have really found their voice again. Wolves are playing their part by engaging in some questionable antics.
“Hee-chan Hwang has thrown himself to the floor near the Leeds dugout after minimal contact, much to Jesse Marsch’s fury. And there’s unlikely to be anyone in here who is a Leeds fan who doesn’t think that was a penalty for Jose Sa clattering into Rasmus Kristensen. If one is a foul, so is the other.”
It is lively.
Clearly, the 48-year-old was getting quite fed up with the playacting on show from Wolves.
Interestingly, Leeds actually netted an equaliser just minutes later, as Rodrigo fired an effort beyond Jose Sa in the 24th minute.
Perhaps Marsch’s visible frustration helped him to evoke some urgency and fire into his players, as nobody can deny that Leeds deserved their equaliser against Bruno Lage’s side.
That fire was certainly lacking during the opening ten minutes, as Kristensen allowed Pedro Neto to bully him off the ball before Daniel Podence eventually scuffed the ball in.
Jesse Marsch can be pleased with one Leeds player
During the opening 45 minutes at Elland Road earlier today, Jack Harrison was in fine form.
As WhoScored shows, the Leeds No.22 – who is a target for Newcastle – impressively provided four key passes for his teammates, more than anyone else on the pitch.
Harrison also got stuck in defensively, winning one tackle while also making one interception.
Crucially, the 25-year-old also provided the assist for Rodrigo’s equaliser.
It’s no wonder Newcastle have been bidding for him – Harrison is certainly in good form.
