It was an intense day in the Championship as Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United instructed his side to allow Aston Villa to score uncontested after it had already opened the scoring in controversial fashion.
Both sides were in the midst of an exciting albeit scoreless battle at Elland Road until Leeds made it 1-0 in the 72nd minute but not without contention. Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia was on the ground injured and despite allowing the game to continue, Villa protested, asking the opponent to put the ball out of play. It seemed as if that was about to happen as both teams temporarily halted.
