Leeds midfielder Roca: Much to learn from Arsenal defeat

Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca says there's plenty of positives to draw from defeat to Arsenal.

Roca believes Leeds must use Sunday's performance against Arsenal as a 'point of reflection' ahead into their upcoming fixtures. The Whites were beaten 1-0 by the Premier League leaders but produced one of their best displays of the season.

He said: “I think it was a good match for us, we did a good performance. It will be a point of reflection for us because we had a good plan, we were confident, we were good in the pressing and on the ball.

“We could feel that our fans were next to us and I think what what we want on Thursday is to win the three points and to enjoy it because we deserved the victory and our fans deserve it too.

“I thought I did a good performance, it could be one of the best but the most important was to win the three points. It was not possible and the sensation that you have when you lose a game, you can play very good, but if you don't win it's difficult.

“It was a good game for me, it was a good game for the team and it's the way we have to follow. We are pushing, training hard every day and I think the results are coming because we have a good team, have good staff and we believe in what we are doing."
