The Whites were beaten on penalties by League Two side Salford City
A look at what national media has had to say following Leeds United's Carabao Cup Second Round defeat to Salford City.
"However, the referee rightly ordered a retake with the goalkeeper clearly off his line and the 23-year-old made the most of his reprieve. It was rough on Leeds, who claimed their first league win of the season at Ipswich Town on Saturday, as they were the dominant side throughout but found Cairns in super form in the Salford goal.
"This has been a turbulent and testing introduction to life as manager of Leeds United and, in Salford’s little stadium, his headache became bigger: defeat on penalties to a League Two side – wholly avoidable given the chances that had been squandered – turning up the spotlight. "‘We are disappointed we are not in the next round,’ he hissed. ‘Performance wise, I cannot criticise too much. We had enough chances to score five goals but we only got one. We hit the crossbar, we hit the post but when you are five yards out put the ball in the goal!’"
