Norwich City and Leeds players had words at the final whistle.

Norwich City's Mario Vrancic scores the opening goal during the Sky Bet Championship between Leeds United and Norwich City at Elland Road on February 2, 2019 in Leeds, England.

Norwich City outplayed Leeds at the weekend to earn a 3-1 away win.

Goalkeeper Tim Krul was still not happy after the game, charging up to confront Leeds striker Patrick Bamford.

Krul’s actions infuriated Leeds fans – but the goalkeeper insisted he was merely sticking up for a teammate.

Krul told The Mail: “I walked over and what’s the striker called, Bamford? He was giving Ben Godfrey all sorts and grabbing him.

“So I said “Come on” and pushed him away,’

“There was a lot of tension out there.”
