There were very few positives to take from Leeds United’s lacklustre 1-0 loss at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The Whites were convincingly second best at the Amex Stadium as Graham Potter’s side negated Leeds’ pressing game and made their dominance count with a second-half goal from Pascal Gross.
Hardly any could leave the south coast with their heads held high as their unbeaten run came to an end. Edges were stretched, the midfield battle was lost and the attacking line failed to fire, but one man who could be content with his efforts was Robin Koch.
The German turned in another sturdy and robust performance in the middle of Jesse Marsch’s backline on the south coast to nullify the threat of Danny Welbeck. He was cool presence while others were struggling to cope with Brighton’s prowess, movement and all round threat.
