Leeds United missed an opportunity to pull further away from the relegation zone and win three games in a row for the first time this season as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United at Elland Road.
It was an open game throughout but the Whites had been the stronger of the two sides, with two big chances for Daniel James going begging, as well as several other opportunities going begging through a poor final ball or a lack of an option in the penalty area.
Subsequently, they were punished by a Jonjo Shelvey free-kick which Illan Meslier will feel he should have done much better with.
