Leeds United fans react to Tyler Roberts display vs Preston

Leeds United crashed out of the Carabao Cup after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Preston North End on Tuesday night at Elland Road.

Daniel Johnson’s second-minute penalty and Brandon Barker’s goal booked a place for the visitors in the third round of the EFL Cup competition.

It was Leeds’s first defeat of the season under Marcelo Bielsa. The Argentine made nine changes to the side with one eye on Friday’s league meeting with second-placed Middlesbrough.

Leeds had an extra man advantage for over 60 minutes during the game after Ryan Ledson was given a straight red card for a two-footed challenge on Lewis Baker.
