Leeds United supporters make key point as Whites blow two-goal lead in draw at Southampton

Leeds United gave away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Southampton at the St Mary's Stadium.

Rodrigo scored his first brace in over a year to give the Whites a two-goal advantage on the hour-mark. Ralph Hasenhuttl responded by reverting to a back-four and introducing a trio of attacking players in the shape of Adam Armstrong, Joe Aribo and Sekou Mara from the bench.

His changes made an impact with Aribo reducing the deficit before Mara set-up Kyle Walker-Peters to score the equaliser in the 81st minute. Leeds missed out on the chance to register back-to-back victories to start the season and their frustration was compounded by another injury to Patrick Bamford in the first half.

Despite the draw, Leeds remain unbeaten with four points from their first six games. Here is how Leeds supporters reacted to the draw on Twitter.

@l33DS_Un1t3d 2 points dropped and the first time you've got to be critical of Marsch. Game management, shocking! Subs happened 10 mins too late when it was clear to see some players were running on empty. LB and lack of CF cover a real issue. Gutted.

@JonF703 I'm usually a Jesse defender but that was abysmal in game management.

@dolliebrans Remind Jesse we have subs.

@22Yorkshire Shame we couldn't hold the lead but blimey, playing in these temps and getting a point will do for me.

@GrumpDad182 We got that wrong. React before they equalise, not after.

@AnotherLeedsFan Easy to be down but I'll remain positive. Unbeaten with four points from first 2 games and another impressive showing. Onwards.

@QuinnMichaud Impressive first 60 min, after that it was pretty poor, just chasing the ball instead of choosing where to press and losing marks in their attacking third.

@JoshJC26 Sign a LB and a striker.

@BielsaWidow All on Jesse that. Everybody watching could tell changes were needed well before their 2nd goal. He must be quicker with his subs. We need a striker too!

@bungholio81 Threw two points away today due to poor game management. Harrison and Struijk were knackered before Southampton scored their first goal. Manager makes the changes after conceding two goals in 35'c heat.

@Mmcglennox1 That defence has cost us again we need guys in fast because we stick with that defence we are in big trouble. Every team will score against us. Get our fingers out now! Was not confident even at 2-0.
