Leeds United fell to their 20th defeat of the Championship season with a lacklustre 2-1 loss to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon, and fans have taken to Twitter in force to call for manager Paul Heckingbottom to be sacked. 

The Whites took the lead after 38 minutes through Kalvin Phillips, with the midfielder crashing the ball home after Ronaldo Vieira’s mishit volley.

Opponents Norwich however hit back just before the break when outgoing hero Wes Hoolahan saw his shot deflected against both posts before nestling in the net.

The Canaries pushed for a winner in the second-half and got their reward when Josh Murphy smashed home a shot which deflected off Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Their 20th league defeat of the season leaves Leeds in 14th place in the Championship table, with Heckingbottom having managed just three wins from his 15 games in charge.

The former Barnsley man has begun to frustrate Leeds fans with the lack of impact he has managed to make at Elland Road, and fans took to Twitter after the match to call for him to go.

Many even admit that they have now changed their opinion of the 40-year-old after wanting to give him time to adjust to the job at first.

This is Futbol have rounded up some of the best tweets:
