However, Paul Cook’s men were able to subdue the Whites, as Gavin Massey scored a brace in the 2-1 comeback win.
Following the defeat, the Argentine manager expressed his disappointment over the result. (h/t Leeds United site)
“It is not a game that you can analyse, because you have games like this that you have to win.
“The result tells a lot about me and condemns seriously my work.
“You have no explanation that could justify a loss like this, it was a game we had to win and it was a game that we could win and we didn’t win it.
However, Bielsa promised his side would bounce back in the upcoming games.
“I am very sad, but I am full of motivation and I’m ready to work again immediately in these games.”
The Whites’ promotion race looks an unpredictable one now, after being handed a loss in the crucial stage of the league.
