Rasmus Kristensen has claimed that Leeds United were 'unfortunate' not to get a result from this afternoon's 1-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.
The Danish international, who arrived at Elland Road in the summer transfer window, replaced Max Wober at halftime after the Austrian defender went off with an apparent shoulder injury.
"We're naturally very disappointed," the Whites star told LUTV after the match. There's not much else to say. We came here for three points and we didn't get anything so we're obviously very disappointed.

"I think it was he small things that just didn't go our way. We knew it would be a game of second-balls, crosses, long balls, heading and stuff like that - a little bit scrappy.
"And I think both teams knew that, both teams fought well today but unfortunately we came out on the wrong end of it."
When asked about how being managerless has impacted the side, Kristensen claimed that despite this afternoon's result, interim boss Skubala shouldn't be the one to blame.
"I think Skubs [Skubala] has done a great job, the staff around him also have done a fantastic job and he came to this game fully prepared and put a brilliant plan out there.
"There's no fingers to point over this week's preparation."
Ahead of next weekend's six-pointer against Southampton, who ran out victors against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon, Kristensen admitted that it'll be tough game but that they'll prepare for it as best as they can.
"Now we have to go home, evaluate this game and prepare the game plan for next week and get three points at home.
"It'll be difficult, yes, but the situation leaves us with no choice. We have to look forward, keep positive and keep our heads high for the games to come.
"We truly believe in ourselves."
