Everyone in the build up to this match had us down for running away with this one, and on paper we should have!

It was a fantastic performance that left me feeling guilty about ever doubting Bielsa’s band of brothers, until El Loco’s post-match comments exonerated me.
Read MoreLeeds vs Brentford Podcast We're all for late winners and equalisers, but I'm not sure how much more stress we can all take.
