Leeds United lost against Millwall at Elland Road in the Championship this afternoon.

Millwall manager Neil Harris has suggested to Leeds Live that Leeds United defender Liam Cooper was rightly sent off during the two sides’ games this afternoon.

The Lions got the better of Leeds 4-3 away from home at Elland Road in the Championship.

It was a hugely entertaining game in which the visiting team went 2-0 up at one stage and then needed two late goals to win.

Leeds defender Liam Cooper was sent off in the 37th minute, and Millwall manager Harris has given his take on the incident.

Harris told Leeds Live (17:29): “At first I thought it was dangerous. I have watched it back and he gets him below the knee. He isn’t a player who would mean it, though.”

Over the course of the 90 minutes at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hosts Leeds had 49% of the possession, took 19 shots of which 11 were on target, and earned one corner, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Millwall had 51% of the possession, took 26 shots of which eight were on target, and earned nine corners, according to BBC Sport.

Leeds are 10th in the Championship table at the moment with 43 points from 28 matches.
