Marcelo Bielsa on Leeds United win at Swansea, not enjoying it and last gasp change of mind

Pablo Hernandez' late winner, against his former club, sparked wild celebrations among the players and staff and full-time brought further elation because the Whites now need just four points from their remaining three games to confirm Premier League status.

But Bielsa, who cut an increasingly agitated figure on the touchline as the minutes ticked by, says he will only be able to enjoy it if Leeds finish the job.

"More than emotion, what we feel is we are more light because we are taking the steps we have to take. But of course when you score at the end of the match it's a higher feeling, but the bigger emotion we didn't get that yet.

"I cannot enjoy this. What you feel just is that you are taking a step forward. The only thing I can enjoy is the last objective, if we get it."

A frustrating, niggly first half brought little in the way of goalmouth action at either end, Leeds coming close through a single Patrick Bamford effort on his right foot, that Freddie Woodman saved comfortably.

The second half was different. With Pablo Hernandez and Gjanni Alioski coming on at the break, Leeds gained more territory and possession and began to really threaten the hosts.

Eventually, finally the pressure told and when it did, it was deserved in Bielsa's eyes.

"We improved in the second half, the offensive play," he said.

"Ayling had more impact, the right side arrived in big spaces and Pablo moved to this sector as well. On the left even if we didn't do damage, the pairing of Ali and Harrison gave us more movement than in the first half.

"The match was very close, very narrow, few chances.

"When the match progressed our possibilities were growing and in the last 30 minutes I think we deserved to score and to make the difference."

Leeds' winner was followed by several minutes of time added on, accounting for a number of stoppages including an injury to Swans' keeper Freedie Woodman.

Both sides made changes and Leeds looked set to bring on Barry Douglas for Jack Harrison, the left-back a split second away from entering the field until Bielsa suddenly approached the fourth official to call a halt to the switch. Instead, he put Berardi on in Harrison's place and Douglas had to retreat to the bench.

Bielsa explained that it was something spotted by the Leeds bench that prompted the late change of mind.

"When I decided to change, they were going to play with three attackers and when Douglas was at the line we saw that Andre Ayew was a second striker and not as a winger," he said.

"In this moment I realised that Ayew is a great header and he was going to play in the centre, not at the side. Our best header we had on the bench at this moment was Berardi. I thought it was better Berardi playing close to Cooper as a third centre-back, instead of Douglas, a full-back who has more full-back opening the pitch and not narrowing the pitch. That was what I thought and for this reason I changed the decision."

The game was preceded by a minute of silence to mark the passing of Leeds legend Jack Charlton, who passed away on Friday after suffering from a long-term illness.

Bielsa preferred not to link the loss of the World Cup winner with the result of the game but was pleased it avoided heaping further misery on a fanbase mourning the third club legend to pass away since April.

"I just know the situation a little bit, I don't know him a lot, I prefer not to comment," he said.

"But of course the legends of the club deserve the most attention from us.

"These are different feelings [Charlton's passing and the result] . I don't want to take the risk to talk about the victory and the loss of a person and I don't want to link those two things. But in any case the fact we won avoided a situation of having two bits of sad news at one time."
