Tyler Adams has told his Leeds United teammates to “keep their heads held high” after the defeat at Aston Villa. Jesse Marsch’s side were on top for several spells in the game but failed to capitalise in the final third.
Ultimately, when Patrick Bamford pulled one back on 83 minutes, it proved too little, too late as the Whites travelled home empty-handed. Adams - named United States player of the year ahead of the game - was still his usually-dependable self against Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara in midfield.
The American admitted to feeling a sense of disappointment at the full-time whistle. He said post-match: “Yeah, I definitely agree with that (frustrated not to win). Frustration is probably the first word that comes to mind when describing the performance because, for large parts of the game, I would say we controlled them and it's never easy to come to a ground like this.
