Jesse Marsch was hit with a familiar feeling of frustration on Sunday afternoon as he watched his Leeds United side fall behind against Cardiff City. The Whites started relatively quickly against the Championship outfit but they lost their way in the game and went in at the break with a two-goal deficit to claw back in the second half.
The Whites did eventually fight their way to level pegging, but they had to rely on a late equaliser from youngster Sonny Perkins, who poked the ball home to set up next week's FA Cup replay on home soil. It was a similar story against West Ham United just a few days previous.
That time Leeds hit the front through a piece of individual brilliance from Wilfried Gnonto, but West Ham were allowed to wrestle that lead from them at Elland Road as the Whites’ performance slumped and mistakes were made. Rodrigo found a leveller in the 70th minute and to their credit United had chances to go on and win the game before taking the point, but they still made life hard for themselves in a game and that’s what Marsch is getting sick of.
