Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa spoke to the media following the Boxing Day draw with Preston North End.

Leeds came from behind to secure a point at Elland Road, thanks to Stuart Dallas’ late deflected strike.

Bielsa gave his verdict on the match and believed the Whites could have come away with all three points.

“Preston controlled the match in the first 20 minutes,” said Bielsa.

“From there, for the rest of the game, the next 75 minutes, it was Leeds who controlled the match.

“We should have drawn level in the match before we did and even after when we draw level at the end, after we did this, we could have scored one more goal, we had one more chance.

“We have to make difference between the first 20 minutes and the other 75 minutes.

“The Preston chances had two characteristics, the first three or four chances, before they scored, were linked with our mistakes in playing out.

“It’s fair to recognise they forced our mistakes, but we could have avoided this.

“Preston’s goal was special because it was the first time in those 20 minutes where we built a very dangerous chance, but we couldn’t finish this chance.

“The danger of this chance was the first time we broke the pressure of Preston, we had superiority in the attack and we lost the ball in this situation in an unexpected way.

“What was dangerous for them became a goal against us.”
