Ian Wright blasts 'frustrating' Leeds United defending on Match of The Day despite referee error

Match of The Day pundit Ian Wright claims Leeds United got the basics wrong against Tottenham as they threw away the lead on three occasions. The former Crystal Palace and Arsenal striker felt that the Whites were unlucky in Spurs' opening goal with Illan Meslier fouled in the build-up.

However, he admits that Leeds could have seen Rodrigo's second goal chalked off, which balanced out the decisions. Wright said: "It was the basics. It was naivety. Just poor play but I think he's right about this one when you look at it.

"It's a foul on the goalkeeper and I can't understand how - he's straight into his chest and there's no way the goalkeeper is going to get good hands on it. They've been unlucky with that one, but there was a foul on Bentancur for the Rodrigo goal which Spurs fans say they should have got so it evens itself out.
