A lot of Leeds United fans love Mateusz Klich’s post after the Whites’ 2-1 defeat to Fulham.
The Polish international posted a picture of Stevie Wonder and then claimed that he was a big fan of the artist and that it was nothing to do with the referee.
Was this tweet from Klich funny?
Yes, it was a good bit of fun
No, it was offensive
Fulham were awarded one of the softest penalties of the season, and most of the Leeds players and a lot of their fans could not believe that the referee gave a spot-kick for the slightest of nudges from Ben White on Bobby Reid. (0:30)
This post from Klich, however, went down brilliantly with many Whites fans.
Phil Hay’s post originally started it all off on Twitter.

What do we think?
Klich was unhappy with the official’s performance, and though he does not say that the tweet is about the referee, it very clearly is.
Overall, it is just a harmless bit of fun from a frustrated player.
The referee’s decision to give Fulham a penalty for a nothing foul was awful, (0:30) and it gave Scott Parker’s side just the start they wanted. (0:42)
Leeds then dragged themselves back level (1:33) but could not extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches and must now look to bounce back with a win over Preston North End.
