Leeds boss Bielsa pleased to honour Lorimer with derby triumph

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa was happy to defeat Sheffield United on a day paying tribute to the life of Peter Lorimer.

The Leeds great passed away last week.

Bielsa said, "Victories always generate happiness and optimism and when we lose someone it always generates sadness and memories.

"It's very difficult for happiness or victory to compensate for the loss of someone, but it's better to have been able to have won to say goodbye to such an extraordinary player."
