Game of Thrones actor and Leeds United fan Ralph Ineson has given his take on the club’s controversial draw with Aston Villa.

Leeds allowed Aston Villa to score after their goal came when a player was down injured.

Ineson said on Twitter that he felt Villa should have played to the whistle, but that he was proud of Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa for adhering to fair play.

He also suggested Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia was responsible for his own injury.

Leeds’ game against Aston Villa was a feisty encounter, but Bielsa’s decision meant a line could be drawn under the incident.

The two teams could play against each other in the play-off final, and this decreases the animosity between the two sides.

That will still exist to an extent, due to the incident with Patrick Bamford and Anwar El Ghazi, which saw the Villa star sent off.
