Jonathan Kodjia was down injured but Leeds refused to put the ball out of play. The incident after the goal saw Villa's Anwar El Ghazi for a clash with Patrick Bamford who was booked.
Bielsa made it clear to his players that he wanted Villa to be allowed to score.

Asked by Sky Sports if it was the right thing to do, he explained: "Give the ball back. Just give the ball back.
"The facts are what everyone saw and we express our interpretation of the facts by doing what we did.
"English football is known for sportmanship. I don't have to comment on this sort of thing."
