Marcelo Bielsa post-match reaction

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa told BBC MOTD:

“We created double the amount of danger than them. We dominated a large part of the game. We defended well and we attacked well. And even if we deserved to win, we didn’t manage to obtain it.

“We managed a good performances against a good opponent.

“Football has those moments, there was two identical plays. They had one goal ruled out the same way but we couldn’t finish our chance [when Jack Harrison missed from close out].

“Offensively we duplicated the opponents in chances. We took the ball off them a lot, and we had good possession.

“We have to defend for every ball whether we’ve just scored a goal or not. We should have neutralised the game in that moment.”

Rodgers post-match reaction

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: “For us to put that effort in and show the courage to keep going, we created some great chances but failed to make the final pass and finishes. The supporters will go home proud of the team.

“We showed a great mentality, going behind and Harvey scored a brilliant goal. We were unfortunate with the goal disallowed. We had a good few moments in the right areas.”

On Ademola Lookman’s disallowed goal: “From what I have seen, the image with the line drawn shows he is a fraction offside. But the ball on contact I assume he is behind the ball.”
