Leeds United’s players have issued an apology following widespread criticism after a video emerged on social media showing the first-team squad ignoring fans before the defeat to Bournemouth.
Leeds United have come under fire not just for their recent shambolic performances but also after a video emerged showing players walking past a group of supporters, including a young fan in a replica shirt, without looking up from their phones or stopping to acknowledge them.
Leeds apologise to fans
In a statement, the relegation-threatened Leeds squad said there was “no excuse” for not acknowledging the supporters and apologised to the young fan for not showing “more love”.
Under Javi Gracia, the relegation-threatened side have lost four of their last five games, and the humbling defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium coupled with results elsewhere leaves them 17th in the table, outside the bottom three on goal difference.

Big picture for Leeds
Leeds have conceded 17 goals in their last five games, which have included defeats to Liverpool, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Fulham, as well as a draw against Leicester.
They go to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City this weekend before welcoming Newcastle to Elland Road.
Getting anything positive from those two games will certainly be a herculean task.
With manager Gracia reportedly under pressure, the next few weeks are certain to be long and hard for Leeds supporters.
