Leeds United fell to defeat on Saturday evening, losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa in a frustrating night.

The Whites lost to a first-half strike from Anwar El Ghazi, as he turned in Ollie Watkins’ cross with a left-footed finish.

Leeds just couldn’t break Villa down and get back into the game, leaving Raphinha visibly gutted at full time.

When the whistle blew, Raphinha simply at on the sidelines reflecting on a disappointing defeat.

The Brazilian looked distraught to have lost the game, and slumped down to contemplate a gutting loss.

Raphinha is already very popular at Elland Road, but fans will certainly love him even more having seen how much a defeat hurts him.

The wide man has been sensational of late, bagging three goals and three assists in seven games before the Villa clash.

Fans will hope this defeat will spur Raphinha on, but he was clearly gutted – just any other Leeds fan – after Saturday’s final whistle.
