Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Facebook, which relayed a report regarding a controversial incident involving Jan Bednarek during the Whites’ fixture with Southampton.

The article by Leeds Live discussed the tweet of Gabriel Dudziak, who noticed that, in the opening stages of Leeds’ clash with Southampton, Saints defender, Jan Bednarek, had locked Pascal Struijk’s arm with his own, leaving the United player helpless in tracking the run of Jannik Vestergaard.

The report went on to state that, had Vestergaard scored in the same phase of play, it is unclear whether the ‘covert obstruction’ would have been spotted by the VAR official.

And, after Leeds United Live relayed the report on Facebook, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing furious at what they believed to be Bednarek’s blatant act of cheating.
