Leeds United 1 Southampton 1: Live reaction and recap
Key Events
- 3pm kick-off at Elland Road
- Fifth-bottom Leeds seeking third win a row
- Saints are 11th and have lost their last four in league and cup
Saints free kick and Marsch booked for protests
90 + 3: This will eat up a fair bit of time, Cooper with a challenge on Long
Two ways of looking at that
You could say a point closer to safety perhaps and that may well be the case but obviously disappointing after being 1-0 up. Saints caused plenty of problems and will feel they should have had at least a draw no doubt. Burnley beaten again. Watford too but next weekend at Vicarage Road is massive. Must not lose that and let the Hornets back in.
