'Won't sleep tonight!' - Leeds United fans react as West Brom are beaten at Brentford

Leeds United fans have been reacting to West Brom's defeat at the hands of Brentford.

Even with the Whites not in action on Friday night, they still had a vested interest in events at Griffin Park.

The Baggies had gone into the game level on points with United at the top of the Championship table following their goalless draw with Birmingham City last weekend.

Meanwhile, Brentford were comfortably sitting in fourth place ahead of kick-off thanks to a 2-0 win over west London rivals Fulham last time out.

Ollie Watkins broke the deadlock after 16 minutes as he got in front of his marker to tap home Josh Dasilva's cross from close range.

That strike separated the two teams at the interval.

West Brom were much improved in the second half, but for the second successive Championship fixture, they drew a blank.

It's a result that suits Leeds United as they can move three points clear with victory over Fulham. And judging by the reaction on social media, fans are urging the side to make a statement.

Take a look at what some Leeds United fans have said about the result on Twitter as there are some worrying concerns about Brentford...

Marcelo Bielsa's side have the chance to respond to the result when they welcome Fulham to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking ahead of the game, the Leeds boss had a warning for his squad.

"The eight matches left are going to generate the same expectation until the situation is defined," Bielsa said during the pre-match press conference.

"Every match is important. This has a more valuable meaning because we play with the direct and closest team to us to fight for promotion."
