After a frustrating away day defeat footballers could often be forgiven for putting their heads down and shying away on a long journey back home.
But Leeds United duo Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas decided to take a different approach following the Whites' 2-1 defeat to Millwall at The Den on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds suffered their second defeat inside three matches as first half goals from Jed Wallace and Tom Bradshaw sealed the victory for the managerless Lions before Ezgjan Alioski pulled a goal back straight after half time.
Despite the frustration of another defeat away from home in the capital, Cooper, who missed the game because of a groin injury, and Dallas refused to shy away, as they took an opportunity to thank some loyal fans for their support on the train back up to West Yorkshire.

The duo were pictured with three Leeds supporters on a train back home in a Twitter post, and they even had a special present for the Whites fans in question.
The Twitter post from Declan Greenwood read: "Me and Matty on train, Coops and Dallas have come down to us, have a pic and nice word, and buy 18 cans for the lads on the train"
It will have been a great way for the Leeds fans to have softened the blow of having witnessed their side suffer a disappointing defeat ahead of the international break.
