A lot of Leeds United fans were raging at their team’s disallowed goal in the second half – luckily for them, it had no impact on the game, and the Whites went on to win 2-0.
Should Costa's goal have stood?
Yes
No
Not sure
This moment, however, still frustrated some Leeds fans who felt the goal should have stood.
59' Costa finishes a fine move, #LUFC have the ball in the back of the net, but it's ruled out for offside. 0-0

I’d like to see that again. Gutted for Costa.

Looked very close!!!

Didn’t look offside

Other Whites supporters were irritated because it had taken them till the 59th minute to have a meaningful shot at goal.
Given that Leeds have not had one single shot on target in 67 mins that disallowed effort will define this game. But don’t use it as an excuse, it’s zero creativity and goal threat to blame. Woeful.

Could you please have a shot on target.

Let’s do this Lads. Could be 11 points clear of Fulham if we take this one. Please ??

Corruption is rife in the EFL. Referees are all bent.

What do we think?
Helder Costa finished off a fine Leeds move, but Jack Harrison was adjudged to have been offside, and according to Phil Hay, he really shouldn’t have been – as he was looking down the line.
This would have probably frustrated Costa, who thought he was going to get his second league goal for the club.
This moment would no doubt have been more controversial had the Whites not won the game but an own goal from Jordy de Wijs and a late Ezgjan Alioski strike sealed a seventh straight win for Leeds and more importantly moved them 11 points clear of third.
Leeds were not at their best, but they just keep finding ways to win, and the rest of the league have no answers for them at the moment.
