Leeds thankfully progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night as they defeated Fulham 6-5 on penalties.
However, not every player managed to slot home their spot kicks. Youngsters Joe Gelhardt and Stuart McKinstry confidently dispatched theirs, whilst the more senior figures of Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw missed theirs. Forshaw’s especially was a wild miss as he ballooned it over the bar.
Sky Sports pundit Darren Bent was watching the game for Sky Sports and commented on Bielsa’s demeanor following Forshaw’s miss. “Bielsa is absolutely p***ed. He is fuming.” He also described the miss itself. “Oh, he has put it over the bar”.
Forshaw’s miss ultimately meant nothing, but given we know how passionate Bielsa can get on the touchline, it comes as no surprise to learn that he won’t have been happy with a penalty that poor.
