Leeds United lost their second game of the pre-season tour of Australia after falling to a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa at the Suncorp Stadium. Danny Ings' second-half penalty settled a feisty affair which saw Archie Gray forced off on a stretcher.
Many of the starting lineup - including Patrick Bamford - racked up 60 minutes or more in a performance that had plenty of positives and negatives - not least the injury to 16-year-old Gray after a nasty tackle from Villa's John McGinn.
The Scotland international went aggressively into a tackle with the teenager, seemingly going over the ball and clamping down on Gray's ankle. The Whites midfielder was in tears as he was taken off with the concern among players and Whites boss Jesse Marsch palpable.

Illan Meslier stood out after some outstanding first-half saves, while Patrick Bamford's 60 minutes will have done him the world of good. The players still looked a little rusty on the ball when it came to key passes, but were more coordinated in their pressing and interplay.
Ultimately, the game was decided on Villa's second penalty, with Leif Davis penalised for handball after Ings flicked the ball up from close range. The game petered out following Gray's injury and Leeds failed to apply pressure in the final minutes. But what did you make of Leeds' first defeat of their Australia tour?
