Supporters of Leeds United have fumed over a post to the club’s official account following the 3-3 draw with Cardiff City on Saturday.
On Sunday afternoon, the club posted a video to Twitter which boasted over Pablo Hernandez’s assist for Helder Costa’s goal which opened the scoring in the clash (as per Leeds), however, fans were left frustrated by the post due to the game’s outcome.

We bottled a 3 goal lead hope this helps

Slow down. If nothing else, yesterday proved we still have our weaknesses. Stay humble, invest sensibly in January and we might just pull it off.

Can’t enjoy any goal in a game like this

That total collapse in the second half.
The team has done incredible so far this season.
Let that second half collapse be the point the team and management use as the catalyst that kicks the team on and such a collapse doesn’t happen again this season
Eye on the prize. #MOT

Should Leeds be posting videos like that following a disappointing result?No, it's not necessary
Yes, childish to think no

Despite the capitulation at Elland Road which saw Marco Bielsa’s side drop two points, Leeds remained in an automatic promotion spot with a ten-point lead over third (as per BBC).
However, United fans wanted their club to keep their eyes on the prize and not dwell on the assist when the outcome was viewed as a massive negative.
Would’ve been good if we didn’t choke a 3 goal lead

Sorry but two points thrown away & hope this isn’t the start of things sliding

What do we think?
The 3-3 draw was, without a doubt, a very disappointing one for Leeds fans and it can be understood why fans are showing their frustration over the video post of the assist.
However, it is an absolutely fantastic pass from Hernandez and deserved to be re-posted for a second viewing.
