Leeds United suffered their first defeat under Marcelo Bielsa on Tuesday evening after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Preston.
The visitors stormed to a 2-0 win at Elland Road despite playing over an hour of the game with ten men following Ryan Ledson’s first-half red card, which led to certain Leeds players being picked out for criticism by the supporters.
Leeds made nine changes to the side that defeated Norwich City at the weekend, with Bielsa keeping one eye on Friday’s crucial Championship showdown with Middlesbrough, and the fringe players drafted in failed to impress.
One of the poor performers on the night was 22-year-old defender Conor Shaughnessy, who failed to stake a claim for regular opportunities in his return from injury and earned criticism from a number of Leeds supporters on social media.
