Bielsa admission points to Leeds shortcomings and bumpy ride ahead

Marcelo Bielsa felt his Leeds side did not deserve to take anything from their clash with Southampton and refused to make any excuses for the loss.

The Whites were never really at the races as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men dominated from start to finish. Leeds defended well and limited Saints to shots from distance. But the home side’s pressure eventually told as Armando Broja scored on his first Premier League start to settle the match.

It was Southampton’s first league success of the campaign and moved them above Leeds in the table. And Bielsa pulled no punches in his assessment of proceedings on the south coast.

“It was a fair result, we didn’t play well in any moment in the game,” he told Sky Sports. “The difference was produced in the first half and the second half the game was more even but the difference is that I was in their favour in the first half. It justified their win even if they scored in the second half.”

The Argentinian tactician set up his team to play the Leeds way. But he confessed that very few things went right during the 90 minutes.
