“We deserve the point and probably a win” Swansea boss Alan Sheehan makes Premier League claim about struggling Leeds United

Alan Sheehan’s return to Elland Road proved to be a success for the interim Swansea City manager as his team secured a crucial point in the dying moments against a self-destructing side led by Daniel Farke.

The match started in favor of those supporting Leeds, with Brenden Aaronson scoring just 40 seconds into the game. It has been a tough few months for Aaronson, especially after being dropped from the USA squad. However, Illan Meslier saved a penalty and Aaronson netted his ninth goal of the season. Swansea equalized when Meslier made a crucial mistake, allowing Harry Darling to score.

Despite Leeds taking the lead with Willy Gnonto’s goal, Meslier’s inability to stop a late shot from Jan Vipotnik resulted in disappointment for Leeds fans. Sheehan had prepared his team meticulously before the game, watching 10 Leeds matches to understand their tactics.

Sheehan expressed his satisfaction with the result, stating that Swansea deserved at least a point. He praised his team’s defensive tactics and aggressive play, which limited Leeds’ opportunities. The point earned leaves Leeds in second place, behind Sheffield United on goal difference.

Sheehan also complimented Leeds, calling them a massive club with a bright future in the Premier League. Despite the tactical victory, he acknowledged Leeds’ quality and their attractive style of play. Leeds now face a tough match against Luton Town, with Sheehan confident that his team can continue their positive momentum.
