Leicester 1-0 Leeds: Harvey Barnes' second-half strike heaps the misery on Jesse March's new side

File this one under ‘sucker-punch’ for Jesse Marsch. Leeds United had dominated, managed four times as many shots as Leicester City, then were undone by a simple one-two.

Harvey Barnes scored and from the Leeds supporters came a chant: ‘Marcelo Bielsa, Marcelo Bielsa.’ Not what Marsch wanted to hear, really – a reminder of what he must try to live up to.

At full time, Marsch ordered each and every one of his players, substitutes and staff members on to the pitch. They stood in a huddle in the centre circle and he delivered a speech.

You imagine he was reminding them of how, on another day, they take their opportunities and win this clash.
