A brawl broke out in remarkable scenes at Elland Road

All the players stopped as it appeared the ball would be put out of play after Kodjia went down, but Leeds kept going with Klich making his way into the box and firing past Jed Steer in goal.A brawl broke out as soon as Klich scored, and it resulted in two bookings and a red card to Anwar El Ghazi for an apparent elbow on Patrick Bamford.

Bielsa has been praised for his decision to favour good sportsmanship over Leeds’ victory, even though it ended Leeds’ hopes of securing automatic promotion this season.The Whites will instead face the play-offs, with Villa a potential opponent of theirs in the race for a place in the Premier League. Though praise has been directed at Bielsa, his striker Bamford has been criticised for the role he played in El Ghazi’s sending off.Bamford went down after a clash with the winger, who was dismissed for an alleged elbow to the English striker’s head.Sky Sports Football5

However, replays showed that there was no serious contact from El Ghazi, and Dean Smith confirmed Villa will appeal the red card.“Without a shadow,” he said after the match. “I will be absolutely amazed if it’s not rescinded. We will appeal that. He doesn’t deserve it. We needed emotional control from everybody.”On Leeds’ contentious goal, Smith added: “Klich has apologised. Every credit to Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa for putting that right.“I asked him and he agreed. He said ‘yes’. He apologised for what happened. Fair play to them. It was a good game of football until that moment.”His opposite number Bielsa said: “We gave the goal back. The facts are what everyone saw.“English football is known for sportsmanship so I don’t have to comment on this kind of thing, which is common in England.”
