As they so often do, a few contentious refereeing decisions dominated a lot of the post-match talk following Leeds United’s 1-1 draw with Southampton. Goals from Jack Harrison and James Ward-Prowse ultimately decided the result on an afternoon where a draw was probably a fair outcome.
Although, Jesse Marsch and the home supporters inside Elland Road may well have felt as though they deserved a penalty, or two. Firstly, Raphinha was challenged in the penalty area by Ibrahima Diallo before Joe Gelhardt also went to ground with just moments left of the 90 minutes.
After looking at the replays, the latter of the two appeals certainly seemed stronger and the Whites could have felt aggrieved to see it waved away by Anthony Taylor. Speaking on Sky Sports News’ Ref Watch on Monday morning, Dermot Gallagher felt that the referee’s on-field decision was the most important.
