Leeds United CEO Angus Kinnear has revealed that Victor Orta received 'the first directors' box yellow cards of the season' for his typically enthusiastic celebrations against Brentford last week.
The 1-0 win over the Bees saw Leeds return to the top of the table thanks to substitute Eddie Nketiah's 81st minute goal at Elland Road last Wednesday night.
That queued wild celebrations among the sold out crowd - none more so that in the directors' box, where pictures emerged on social media following the match of Orta's seat, which was missing the TV monitor that those on the front row of the box usually enjoy.
Instead, there were a number of exposed wires which gave the impression that Orta had been up to his old tricks, as those that have watched the recent Take Us Home documentary will know only too well.

The pictures went viral on social media and Kinnear has used his programme notes before the Stoke City Carabao Cup clash to shed some more light on what had happened.
"The victory was only tainted by the first directors' box yellow card of the season, unsurprisingly relieved by Victor Orta, who contrived to uninstall a TV screen during his typically exuberant goals celebrations."
Orta will therefore need to be on his best behaviour tonight for the visit of Stoke, the club have already installed a new screen.
Leeds host Stoke in the second round of the League Cup, with the draw for the third round taking place on Wednesday evening.
