Marcelo Bielsa praises the raucous Leeds fans for their role in helping the team secure a draw

Manager Marcelo Bielsa hailed the loud-and-proud Leeds fans before hinting that this season's lenient refereeing could benefit his attacking side.

Leeds twice came from behind to draw an entertaining match against Everton, with goals from Mateusz Klich and Raphinha.

Bielsa, who is accustomed to raucous fanbases after time with huge clubs in Argentina, Spain and France, was quick to point to the atmosphere as a driving factor for a hard-fought point.
