'Disgusting' - Leeds United fans react after Aleksander Mitrovic elbow goes unpunished

Leeds United fans were left fuming after an elbow from Fulham striker Aleksander Mitrovic on Ben White went unpunished during Saturday's crucial Championship clash.

Less than two minutes were on the clock when the Serbian striker clattered into the on-loan Brighton defender but the incident was unseen by the officials.

However, the general consensus was that it should be been a dismissal and the EFL could now hand the Fulham striker a retrospective ban this week.

While discussing the incident on social media, many came to the same conclusion about the lack of Video Assistant Referees in the Championship.

Used in the Premier League, the EFL is yet to introduce VAR to the second-tier despite calls for them to do so - and it would have certainly impacted the game.

Fans were quick to state as much on social media, while there were also outcries against a later challenge from Anthony Knockaert later in the first half.

Leeds went in 1-0 up at the break following Patrick Bamford's 11th minute opener.
