Leeds United lost 3-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening.

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has taken to Twitter to react to tonight’s 3-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers by suggesting the visitors have an unfair advantage.

After losing 3-0 to Middlesbrough on Friday night, Leeds were back in Championship action this evening, taking on Wolves at Elland Road – but it was the same scoreline.

Romain Saiss put Wolves ahead in the first half before Willy Boly made it 2-0 on the stroke of half time, leaving Leeds with a mountain to climb.

Substitute Benik Afobe wrapped up the win in the second half, handing the league leaders another victory – and Paul Heckingbottom another defeat.

The new Leeds boss has only won once since leaving Barnsley for Elland Road, but owner Andrea Radrizzani doesn’t seem too concerned, and is instead pointing the finger at Wolves.

After tonight’s defeat, Radrizzani took to Twitter in order to claim that Wolves have an unfair advantage due to their relationship with agent Jorge Mendes, who has helped the club sign a host of players.

Portuguese talents such as Ruben Vinagre, Ruben Neves, Ivan Cavaleiro, Diogo Jota and Helder Costa have all arrived at Molineux thanks to Mendes, and Radrizzani isn’t happy.

The Italian did note that Leeds have their own problems right now, but doesn’t think it’s fair that Wolves are able to land top players with options to buy them when the rest of the league doesn’t have the same luxury, and called for a more equal league.
