Leeds United fans on Twitter have been reacting to recently posted footage of defender Ben White.
This comes after the official Leeds Twitter account shared a post on their page that contained footage from Leeds’ recent 3-0 win over Fulham at the weekend.
The footage shows Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic elbowing White in the face in the early stages of the match with no punishment from the referee.
The Leeds Twitter account captioned their post asking their followers for their thoughts on the situation.
Unsurprisingly, this post quickly gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were not shy in airing their thoughts on the matter.
Here’s a sample of Leeds fans responding to the post:

Could have inflicted a very serious injury. 3-5 game ban incoming surely @EFL

Marcelo Bielsa’s side secured all three points against Fulham after goals from Patrick Bamford, Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison helped Leeds to move on from their previous fixture that saw them lose 2-0 to Cardiff City.
Absolutely naughty disgraceful it gets worse every time you see it ???? Hope EFL take action if that was a Leeds player that had done well we all know what would happen don’t we ???????

This latest win for Leeds has opened up a three-point gap between Bielsa’s side and second-placed West Bromwich Albion in the league table with Leeds on 74 points heading into the next round of fixtures in the Championship.
Disgusting!!!

Should Aleksandar Mitrovic get a match ban for his elbow on Ben White?
Yes
No
Disgusting

Now that the official Leeds Twitter account has shared this footage on their page, this sparked a huge reaction from Leeds fans who were quick to share their thoughts on the clash.
That’s a joke ????

The elbow from Mitrovic was very dangerous and unnecessary. It’s lucky that White wasn’t seriously injured after the collision.
Whether the striker will face any punishment for the clash with White is yet to be seen. But looking at the replies from these Leeds fans, they certainly think a ban is needed for Mitrovic.
Despite this unfortunate clash at the beginning of the match, at least Leeds ended the match with all three points as they continue their charge to promotion.
