We will appeal that. He doesn’t deserve it. We needed emotional control from everybody.”On Leeds’ contentious goal, Smith added: “Klich has apologised. Every credit to Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa for putting that right.“I asked him and he agreed. He said ‘yes’. He apologised for what happened. Fair play to them. It was a good game of football until that moment.”His opposite number Bielsa said: “We gave the goal back. The facts are what everyone saw.“English football is known for sportsmanship so I don’t have to comment on this kind of thing, which is common in England.”
