Ethan Ampadu delivers frank assessment of Leeds United collapse at Hull City with message to fans
Leeds United’s captain has had his say on events at Hull.
Ethan Ampadu has delivered a frank assessment of Leeds United‘s collapse at Hull City with a message to the club’s fans.
Club captain Ampadu who has recently returned from a knee injury came back into the starting XI for Saturday’s Championship clash at Hull in which he replaced the injured Pascal Struijk at centre-back.
Ampadu lined up alongside Wales international teammate Joe Rodon at the heart of the defence but Leeds suffered an early setback as Abu Kamare fired the Tigers into a fifth-minute lead.
Leeds then looked to have pulled off an impressive comeback as they hit back to lead 3-1 with just 18 minutes left yet a huge error from keeper Illan Meslier gifted the hosts a second goal through Joao Pedro with nine minutes left.
Kamara then struck his second of the game as Leeds failed to clear a corner in the 89th minute, the Tigers salvaging a 3-3 draw which led to United’s lead at the top of the division being cut to a point.
Taking to his Instagram story, Ampadu wrote: “Disappointed, we know it wasn’t good enough from us this weekend. Thank you as always for the support.”
