Jesse Marsch makes 'weak' penalty claim as boss discusses Leeds United's survival chances

Jesse Marsch Leeds United Jack Harrison Watford Whites

Jesse Marsch has admitted that Leeds United are still in a relegation battle despite picking up their third win in four matches against Watford on Saturday afternoon. The Whites recorded an impressive 3-0 victory at Vicarage Road to move nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Raphinha gave Leeds the lead with a terrific strike from outside the box, before Rodrigo doubled their advantage in the 73rd minute. Jack Harrison added gloss on the scoreline with moments to play as he fired the ball home on the counter-attack to seal a vital win on the road.

Following Everton's victory over Manchester United and Newcastle United's success against Wolverhampton Wanderers, it was important the Whites responded and they did just that, producing a professional performance in Hertfordshire. With Burnley set to play rock bottom Norwich City on Sunday, Leeds could've been dragged back in it if they failed to beat the Hornets.
