Every word from Neil Harris, Millwall boss, about Leeds United, Marcelo Bielsa and Jansson

Was Leeds United 3-2 Millwall a fair result?

Probably on possession and chances created, considering that they missed a penalty, maybe. It's hard to say because we're twice in the game and for us coming from Elland Road it was a good performance in a lot of ways.

Let's start with disappointments, the second goal is a poor one. It comes at a time when we are not really under pressure. We handle the game well, interrupt the game and it is mediocre. I've told boys out there, if they want to reach the highest levels of division or even the next level, you can not give goals like that. You can not give good teams like that one foot in the game.

I can talk about the quality of our counterattack, the quality of our ball, the quality of our defense, our strong resistance to an exhausted Elland Road. The charges advanced, but in the end we did not get anything from the game and the way they performed, they probably deserved something.

What did you do about the incident involving Pontus Jansson in the second half?

I just spoke to the referee before my arrival, because I knew you would ask me, so I wanted to be clear. He gave a yellow card for stopping his progress. I just asked him if he did not think it was a cynical game of using the forearm or elbow, and he said no.

I only saw it in real time and for now, I thought it was done on purpose. I need to see him on TV again to judge, but it was a key moment because I had 2-1 at the time. And I thought that good margins like this have fallen several times in front of Leeds. The penalty during the first half, the incident of the red card that could have been.

But do not take anything, Leeds is a high level and we are managing them very closely today.

There was an incident when Millwall scored the penalty, missiles were thrown into the field by Leeds fans, one of them might have touched a Millwall player, is not it? do you know anything about it?

No, I saw them coming, I saw that, but I think in football, myself as a manger, Marcelo [Biesla] as a manager, do not tolerate fans who throw things on the ground. But that 's what it is, it' s not up to me to comment, it 's not my football club.

You're talking about nice margins, was your heart in your mouth when Ben Marshall attacked Luke Ayling, did you think it might be a red card?

Not where I was, no. It was a powerful tackle, aimed at the ball, but it might have been a bit too fast for him.
