Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United lost to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Leeds United central defender Pontus Jansson has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

The West Yorkshire outfit suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of West Brom away from home at The Hawthorns in the Championship on Saturday evening.

It was the worst performance from Marcelo Bielsa’s side this season, and it showed that the Whites are not going to find it easy, especially against teams who are aiming to finish in the Championship playoffs as well.

Jansson, who is hugely popular among the Leeds fans, has taken to Twitter to express his disappointment at the final result, and so has his teammate and left-back Barry Douglas.

The defeat to West Brom is a wake-up call for Leeds, who have to step up against the big teams on a regular basis.

The way the Whites collapsed in the second half underlined that there is still work to be done defensively, and perhaps head coach Bielsa will focus on that during the second half of the season.
