'Absolutely shocking', 'Could have broken his leg' - Leeds fans gobsmacked at 'mind-blowing' referee blunder
Leeds fans are baffled by a refereeing blunder in their 1-1 draw to Rotherham on Friday (24 November).
Officials missed what seemed a stone-wall red card and penalty for the Whites when Daniel James was hauled down by Lee Peltier in the second half with his studs firmly up the Welshman’s shin.
The Whites were blunted in the Yorkshire derby at the AESSEAL New York Stadium despite taking a sixth-minute lead with a pin-point strike by Crysencio Summerville.
Hakeem Odoffin had a late first-half equaliser and despite a late offside goal and the lion’s share of shots and possession, Daniel Farke’s side had to share the spoils.
While Ipswich Town’s 2-0 defeat to West Brom did see Leeds gain ground on the automatic spaces, the Elland Road faithful are aggrieved that they had the chance to close the gap to just five points.
