High-flying Leeds United came crashing back down to earth on Sunday following their 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth. Colby Bishop’s 61st-minute effort secured a deserved win for the home side, who bettered a lacklustre Whites outfit in virtually every department.
Leeds remain top of the Championship but have seen what was a five-point gap cut to goal difference alone in the space of two games, having only recently beaten second-placed Sheffield United in their own backyard. And as would be expected, fans had plenty to say on the disappointing performance.
From a controversial penalty decision to debate over Daniel Farke’s team selection, supporters posted a wide variety of points on social media following the defeat. And the YEP has picked out a few key points below.

"That result is on the so-called Premier League referee. What an atrocious decision to not award a penalty in the first half! Give that opportunity to game chances. Another game Piroe has a hatty. First loss since November. We still win this league. #lufc" Photo: Richard Heathcote
