A tough day at the office.
The dream start for Leeds United has come to an abrupt end.
It has been a tough couple of weeks for Eunan O’Kane’s side, they lost 3-1 to Cardiff earlier in the week which moved them off the top spot and then had a chance to move back up to second today only to lose 3-0 to local rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Leeds were poor, there is no other way of putting it, 3-0 could have been 30-0 the way things were going.
Irish international Eunan O’Kane had a day to forget, giving an errant pass in the direction of Kieran Lee late in the second half and the Wednesday player scored a stunner to put the nail in the coffin.
It was a cheap pass to give away but, in fairness to O’Kane, not many would have expected Leeds to get punished like that.
Well, O’Kane was happy enough to hold his hand up after the defeat and take some responsibility.
The 27-year-old took to Twitter to give his take on the defeat:
“A really bad performance today. I can only apologise for the extremely poor decision that gifted them the 3rd goal,” it read.

Leeds now go into the international break sitting in fifth place, four points behind league leaders Cardiff and O’Kane will now have to look forward to games against Moldova and Wales as Ireland look to boost their World Cup qualification hopes.
And the fact that O’Kane did not shy away from the blame on Sunday meant an awful lot to several of his club’s fans.
don’t worry Eunan everyone makes mistakes you’ve been one of our best players this season
