Midfielder delivers bitter Leeds United verdict with plan after setback
A whites midfielder has delivered a bitter Leeds United verdict.
Midfielder Joe Rothwell has delivered an honest verdict on Friday night’s 2-2 draw at Sunderland and outlined the next plan for his Whites.
Rothwell joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Bournemouth in the summer and the 29-year-old impressed upon being handed his full league debut in Friday night’s clash at Sunderland.
Leeds were within touching distance of victory at the Championship’s leaders as they led 2-1 deep into second half stoppage time but a seemingly harmless Sunderland ball into the box somehow bypassed keeper Illan Meslier to gift the Black Cats a 2-2 draw.
Rothwell, who played the full duration of the contest, admits the outcome was a “bitter” blow but declared the plan to now recharge the batteries ahead of the hosting of Sheffield United after the international break.
Taking to his Instagram page, Rothwell wrote: “Bitter pill to swallow, time to rest and recoup and go again in a few weeks.”
