Former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has told Leeds United they could have come away with something from the game, had they done more in the final third. The result may have been somewhat of a harsh one given how well the Whites played in the first-half, but that doesn't help as Jesse Marsch and his side were condemned to their seventh game without a win in all competitions - for the second time this season.
Unai Emery's side took the lead in a counter attack from a Leeds corner, something Dublin believes the Whites should have done better with. Dublin told Sky Sports: "I think Leeds should have done better with their corner, they should have committed to the challenge, Ashley Young shows composure and then there you go.
"Look at the seconds, how long he’s [Kamara] got the ball at his feet, how long it takes for someone to engage him. It’s just a roll into Bailey’s feet - don’t let Bailey in on his left foot, he’s a left-footer, they should not be letting him inside, you can’t do that."

When asked if Aston Villa deserved the win, Dublin said: "Half and half really. I thought their first half performance was much better, in the final third maybe they got away with it a little bit.
"Leeds could have done more in the final third, could have made it a little more interesting if they could have been more potent, but Villa did enough. They did what they had to, it wasn’t a vintage Villa performance, but it was better.
"I asked for performances from Luiz and Buendia and Coutinho - Buendia was outstanding, absolutely outstanding. That’s what Villa have to do. That’s what the players who can change a game for Villa have to do, week-in week-out and they did tonight."
