'So much has gone wrong today' - Leeds United fans react to Crawley Town defeat

Leeds United have suffered another premature exit from the FA Cup after a 3-0 defeat to Crawley Town on Sunday.

The Whites were taken apart by the League Two outfit in the second 45 minutes, with a trio of goals condemning them to their fate.

It was an afternoon to forget all round, with plenty of disappointing performances and issues to address before next week's tie against Brighton.

While there was plenty of criticism for Kiko Casilla, who earned a rare start ahead of Illan Meslier, the entire performance was underwhelming.

Marcelo Bielsa's decisions during the game also left fans scratching their heads, as he elected to make a trio of changes in the interval.

Among those to exit the field was Rodrigo, which left Leeds without a recognised striker for the second period, and it only took five minutes after the restart for the hosts to take the lead.

After the final whistle, many supporters quickly took to social media to share their thoughts on the FA Cup upset, which means Leeds will sit out of Monday's draw for the fourth and fifth round of the competition.

There is no time to waste though as the Whites are back in Premier League action next week against Brighton, which is followed by the hosting of a high-flying Southampton side.

Leeds have now exited the FA Cup at the third round stage for the fourth season in a row and have advanced past this stage just four times since 2003.
