Leeds United midfielder Eunan O’Kane has expressed his disappointment at the club’s loss to Bristol City.

The Whites were narrowly beaten, losing 1-0 through a second half goal from Marlon Pack.

O’Kane, writing on Twitter, thanked the Leeds fans for their support, but described the loss as a ‘tough defeat’.

The frustrating element of Leeds’ defeat was that they were worthy of a draw, and lost to a controversial goal, with Pablo Hernandez fouled in the lead up to City’s winner.

O’Kane started the fixture, and had been a key part of the Whites line-up which had won four previous matches in a row.

To see their unbeaten record go out like this at Ashton Gate was a blow, but Leeds need not be too despondent given the circumstances.

At the weekend they host Barnsley at Elland Road, and losing this fixture would be a far tougher pill to swallow. The Tykes have played well this season, but Leeds will be disappointed not to get back on track with a victory.
