Leeds United supporters highlight 'glaring' issue despite victory over Cardiff

Leeds United supporters were left frustrated by their 'glaring' issues at the back, despite winning 5-2 against Cardiff City at Elland Road.

The Whites secured a place in the FA Cup fourth round for the first time since 2017. Leeds forced a replay after coming from two goals behind in dramatic fashion in the original tie, and Wilfried Gnonto took just 26 seconds to fire Leeds ahead with a phenomenal volley at the back post.

Rodrigo doubled Leeds' advantage just after the half-hour mark, before Gnonto scored his second with a clinical finish beyond Jak Alnwick at his near post in the 36th minute.

Patrick Bamford climbed off the bench in the second half to score twice in the space of five minutes - extending his recent tally to three goals in two games in all competitions.

However, Callum Robinson added a consolation during the final ten minutes, and then bagged his brace from the spot, after Marc Roca was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box following a VAR review.

Here is how Leeds supporters have been reacting to their 5-2 victory over Cardiff City on social media...

@brenmcdaid Bam bam bam he's back we might have just wasted 40 million. On a serious note disappointed that the only 2 real attacks of the game they scored in both that is serious call for concern, great result with fantastic goals but we're royally screwed if we don't fix this glaring issue.

@stevenarthursim Good to see Lord Bamford in such good shape!

@Superleeds1Mot Great win but can we stop conceding our regular 2 goals per game that would be amazing.

@AaronsonDallas3 Amazing win let's keep it up in the next game.

@Allassar2 Good game but our defence needs to get stronger, desperately. Hope Wöber isn't to seriously injured.

@markpmakey Great performance and some great goals., sloppy to blot the clean sheet but it’s a great turn of form and hope it carries through to Brentford.

@boba5011 Please can you buy some decent defenders, They are Championship at best.

@Jamierm4 I knew Bamford still had it in him. Doubters need to rush.

@trevchildy It's a win, but yet again give stupid goals away.

@JrmTansey Leeds, conceding 2 goals every game.

@tweet_ry Great win tonight but our defence is still a major problem. Fourth game in a row which we’ve conceded 2 goals.
