Tyler Roberts has lauded the Leeds fans on Twitter for the atmosphere that they created inside Elland Road during their Championship clash with Norwich City on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been knocked off top spot in the second tier as the Canaries left Yorkshire with a 3-1 win and moved above them in the table.

It was a hugely disappointing night on the pitch for the home side. Leeds dominated possession and actually had more attempts than Daniel Farke’s side, but a number of defensive errors proved costly as Norwich were clinical in front of goal.

There were some positives for Leeds, most notably with Patrick Bamford marking his return with a late goal. Roberts arguably had a decent evening as well before he was replaced during the second-half.

The forward was again used in a deeper role, and looked lively. It was his lob that resulted in Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul receiving a yellow card as he clattered into the Wales international and was perhaps fortunate to stay on the pitch. There were also plenty of Leeds supporters who felt that Roberts should have had a penalty in the first-half.

And had he not been on a yellow card, perhaps he would have stood a better chance of staying on the pitch for the full duration of the game as there were arguably several players who were having much worse days for the Whites before he was substituted.
