The Whites' King Power Stadium visit on Saturday did not reap the points that Marsch desperately seeks to swerve his new side's relegation to the Championship.

But the scoreline showed progress, with United conceding just one goal after leaking 20 in the previous five games.

It was at Villa Park where Leeds picked up the one point they have earned in their last seven games in a six-goal Premier League thriller.

Dan James gave the Whites the lead inside ten minutes before a star turn by Barcelona loanee Philippe Countinho and defensive frailties caused Marcelo Bielsa's side to concede three goals in 13 minutes.

United trailed by 3 goals to 2 at half time, but Diego Llorente was on hand to draw the visitors level after the break, poking the ball home at a scrappy corner.

Villa defender Ezri Konsa was dismissed late on for a second yellow but, despite a healthy dose of stoppage time, Leeds could not capitalise to find a winner.
