'The ref killed the game' Leeds United fans point the finger after Fulham defeat

Leeds United fans have all made the same point after their 2-1 defeat to Fulham, which handed Marcelo Bielsa's side a blow in their push for promotion.

The Whites endured a nightmare start at Craven Cottage, with and needing to be replaced before Aleksandar Mitrovic put Fulham 1-0 up on seven minutes when he fired home from the penalty shot after Ben White was harshly adjudged to have fouled Bobby Reid in the box.

A testy first half followed with no fewer than five yellow cards dished out, including Helder Costa just before the break, before Bielsa replaced him with Eddie Nketiah for the second half.

And it didn't take long for the Arsenal loanee to make an impact as his 54th minute shot was parried straight into the path of Patrick Bamford by Marek Rodak, with the Leeds number nine slotting home to level the match.

But the hosts were ahead again 15 minutes later when Josh Onomah smashed home what would be the winning goal to snap a 12-match unbeaten streak. 

After the match, many fans took to social media to share their thoughts and plenty had the same complaint, stating that referee Tim Robinson had a negative impact on the game.
