Leeds boss Bielsa: Wolves defeat undeserved; no blame for Meslier

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa insists they didn't deserve defeat to Wolves.

The hosts took the lead just after the hour when Adama Traore hit a thunderous effort from distance against the crossbar but the ball rebounded off the back of Illan Meslier's head into the Leeds goal.

Bielsa is adamant all factors in the game fell in their favour over the 90 minutes.

He said, "All evaluations from the game are in favour of us. The possession, the dominance and the chances. In this sense it was the possession that created danger, a dominance that was productive. We had double the chances they did to score but we didn't manage to do so.

"We had 10 chances and we weren't able to score a goal, they had five and scored one. That explains the game.

"I can't be upset [with the goal] because it wasn't Ilan's fault.

"If we defended well and attacked well I don't think we can conclude that we lost because Kalvin Phillips wasn't there."
