BBC Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas was impressed with Leeds United both with 10 and 11 men during the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa. The Whites were forced to play just shy of half a game a man light following Luis Sinisterra’s red card just four minutes after the break.
In what was a largely stop-start affair during the first half, Leeds created the better openings of the two teams with Rodrigo Moreno twice going close. But Jesse Marsch’s side were forced to show a different side of their game in the second 45 minutes after going down to 10.
Leeds moved to a back five and while Villa did create two or three good chances, the Whites defended well to earn a hard-fought point. Speaking on Match of the Day 2, Jenas believes there were a lot of promising signs from Leeds and says it is clear to see the players are taking Marsch’s messages on board.
