Leeds United failed to beat Preston North End in their most recent fixture.

Thomas Christiansen has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that he was pleased that Leeds United’s players were disappointed at their failure to beat Preston North End in their last match.

Leeds could only manage to pick up a 0-0 draw against Preston in their most recent outing, despite the visitors at Elland Road going down to 10 men.

Sharing a point with Preston was hardly a disaster, but Leeds’ players still felt like it was an opportunity missed.

And Christiansen was happy with the mood in his side’s dressing room after the contest: “In the last part of the game we played against 10 players and creating the opportunities we did, we wanted the three points.

“This is why the players were disappointed and I’m happy that they’re disappointed about that. It means they feel the game and that they wanted the win.”

Leeds’ best chance against Preston came through Chris Wood, but the in-demand striker could not finish and break the deadlock.

Leeds have still enjoyed a positive start to the new campaign, and remain unbeaten in all competitions.

The Whites have seen off the challenges of Bolton Wanderers and Port Vale, but arguably face their toughest test yet when they take on Fulham this evening.

Fulham were one of the most dangerous teams in the Championship last term, and will pose a big threat at Elland Road.
