Morrison calls out Brenden Aaronson after what he did at Leeds United v QPR
Leeds United rescued a 2-2 draw against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday after going two goals behind at Loftus Road.
The Whites fell behind after Koki Saito curled home, but it was Brenden Aaronson who somehow laid the ball off for the home side perfectly.
After Steve Cook had doubled the lead, a Morgan Fox own goal and Jayden Bogle ensured that Leeds left with a point to remain top of the Championship going into the international break.

The Whites fell behind just 17 minutes into their trip to Loftus Road, when Saito’s effort got the better of Leeds shotstopper Illan Meslier.

But it was attacking midfielder Aaronson who held the most responsibility for the fact that Farke’s side fell behind.
The USA international initially intercepted Saito’s pass, but immediately handed possession back to the winger, who capitalised and put his side in the lead.
Clinton Morrison criticised the Leeds man live on Sky Sports News [15 March, 12:49 pm]: “I don’t know what Aaronson is doing, just put your foot through it.”
Following his major error, Aaronson was hooked from the action by Farke at half-time, and was replaced by Willy Gnonto.
Leeds are still in a strong position despite dropping points once more
The Whites trailed 2-1 at half-time courtesy of their disastrous opening half hour at Loftus Road, but Bogle managed to restore parity just six minutes into the second half, when he levelled the scores at 2-2.
By fighting back from two goals to claim a point at Loftus Road, Farke’s men showed the same sort of spirit they demonstrated during their victories over promotion rivals Sunderland and Sheffield United, in which they emerged as victors despite previously trailing 1-0 on both occasions.
However, Leeds will still be disappointed that they were unable to win all three points against a QPR side who sit in mid-table with no relegation worries and with next to no chance of landing a play-off spot.
The Whites’ draw on the road means that they have now dropped points in three of their last four games, following their 1-1 draw with West Brom on Saturday 1 March, and their defeat at Portsmouth last Sunday.
But Farke and co cannot be knocked off top spot this weekend courtesy of their superior goal difference over Sheffield United.
