The defender scored his first goal for Leeds United at Carrow Road.
Leeds United secured arguably their best result of the season so far against Norwich City on Saturday, but defender Pontus Jansson has explained via the Yorkshire Evening Post why he is still not 100 per cent content.
Jansson scored his first goal for Leeds in their 3-2 success, but even that was not enough for the towering centre-back, who celebrated that strike by leaping into the away end, earning him his fourth yellow card of the campaign.
And with the EFL’s booking amnesty not until 30 November, Jansson faces a one-match suspension if he is cautioned again this month.
“That was stupid” the 25-year-old told the Yorkshire Evening Post. “But I heard that after some games they cancel out so I have to be calm against (next opponents) Newcastle. But that’s not easy!”
The concession of two goals also irked Jansson, although he admits that little could have been done about Norwich’s second, scored by one-time Leeds target Kyle Lafferty.
“Their first one was a corner and I didn’t know what happened,” the defender admitted. “Someone lost their match with a small guy who is like 1.5 metres (Robbie Brady) so that’s not good! And the second goal, I thought it was offside and I saw that Pablo Hernandez was laying down.
“There was not so much we could have done with the second but definitely the first. But overall we played really good football – the football that we believe in – to play from the back and with all of the players involved in our play.”
Jansson has made an instant impression since arriving at Elland Road in August, although this in turn has attracted some unwanted attention, according to his agent Martin Dahlin.
Over the weekend, Watford were credited with an interest in the Torino man – who is eight games away from triggering a purchase option in his contract – and Dahlin told the Watford Observer: “There has been interest in him, but I don’t want to comment on specific clubs.”
