Kemar Roofe sends Leeds star motivating message after 2-0 defeat against Cardiff

It certainly wasn't what we expected on Sunday afternoon, as Leeds United fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Cardiff City.

Marcelo Bielsa's men suffered from the same old story in the Welsh capital as the Whites dominated possession yet again but still managed to come away with nothing.

It was two mistakes from Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper which saw the Bluebirds score from their only two shots on target.

There was a sense of disappointment within fans after the game, with many believing that the Whites have missed a massive opportunity to extend their gap above Fulham.

Mateusz Klich didn't excel in the middle of the park at the Cardiff City Stadium and posted a message on his personal Instagram account admitting his poor performance.

Eagle-eyed spectators will have noticed a comment from Kemar Roofe on the picture, with the Anderlecht man sending his good wishes.

"You lot have got this," he wrote.

Fears will automatically rise after another defeat, and many will start suffering flashbacks from last season's collapse.

It's not time to panic just yet, with Fulham losing, Leeds still hold a seven-point gap to third, and have just ticked off one less game to worry about.

According to prediction expert Nate Silver, the Whites still stand a 97% chance of earning promotion to the Premier League - so Sunday's defeat doesn't look to have done to much damage looking at the bigger picture.
