Dallas admits Leeds frustration in West Ham defeat

Leeds United fullback Stuart Dallas admits there was a lot of frustration after defeat to West Ham last night.

Despite starting well and having two early goals ruled out, the Hammers went into two-goal lead before half-time and that left the Whites chasing the match.

“I thought we started the game really well," Dallas explained to the Leeds website.

“This is football, sometimes you get the rub of the green and sometimes you don't, that's the way it goes.

“We started well then the game got away from us, they hit us on the counter.

“They got a penalty which was frustrating because it could have been avoided from where the ball had come from to start off with.

“Then a set-piece, which is disappointing. It has been a problem for us from earlier in the season and we worked hard to try and help in those situations but unfortunately tonight we conceded.

“We regrouped at half-time and made a few changes, came out in the second half and I thought we took control of the game.

“We had a chance early on and if that goes in, it's a different game.

“It's frustration more than anything that we didn't get anything from the game because I think it was there for us."
