TalkSPORT pundit fires Leeds complaint at Sky Sports over coverage
Leeds United have caught the eye of many since their return to the Premier League this season after 16 years away.
The Whites have beaten both Fulham and Sheffield United in the past two weeks, and are currently sat in the top half of the table.
After the opening day 4-3 defeat at Liverpool, Marcelo Bielsa’s men have been consistently praised for their fearless approach.
That seems to have annoyed some people though, including Aston Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor.
The TalkSPORT pundit has complained that his former side doesn’t receive the same praise and “energy” from Sky Sports during coverage of their games.
“Can you give villa the same energy you give Leeds during commentary please Sky Sports, thanks,” he wrote on his personal Twitter account.

It seems a strange request to make so late on a Wednesday evening, as Villa prepare for their Carabao Cup clash with Stoke.
Leeds have spent upwards of £80million during this window, with the majority of their squad that got them promoted still being utilised.
Compare that to Villa, who have spent hundreds of millions and only survived by the skin of their teeth last season playing mediocre football.
Agbonlahor is making a mountain out of a molehill with this one, with most Leeds fans not usually massive fans of Sky themselves, as he should know as a pundit.
The Whites going up against Manchester City this weekend will no doubt rack up some of the best viewing figures of the season – so Agbonlahor may want to miss watching that one.
