'Absolute stain on football': Aston Villa fans furious with Leeds United players

Leeds United's clash with Aston Villa at Elland Road left plenty to talk about, where Marcelo Bielsa's side saw their hopes of automatic promotion wiped away and are now preparing for the playoffs.

Dean Smith's Aston Villa are set for the same end to their season, as they seek to get past the final hurdle that they fell at last season, but for now all the discussion is around a series of bizarre events in today's clash.

Leeds took the lead through Mathuesz Klich in controversial circumstances as Villa had a man down due to injury and believed that the home side would put the ball out of play to allow treatment to take place and were left furious when the home side broke the deadlock.

Anwar El Ghazi was subsequently sent off in the aftermath, and will miss both of Villa's play-off semi-final clashes, and Marcelo Bielsa then ordered his side to allow Villa to equalise, with Albert Adomah getting that goal.

Fans on social media were furious and plenty hit out at Leeds for their antics.
