Leeds United suffered their first league loss of the season yesterday.
In a match at Elland Road against lowly Birmingham City, Leeds slumped to a 2-1 loss.
Ex-Leeds manager Garry Monk picked up his first win of the season with the Blues, while condemning Leeds to their first defeat.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are still top of the league but this loss acts as a real wake-up call in their quest for promotion.
Leeds went behind early against Birmingham. Che Adams got on the score sheet with a strike which Bailey Peacock-Farrell really should have dealt with.

The Northern Ireland international’s positioning was questionable as he was beaten by Adams’ drive.
On 29 minutes, Adams grabbed a second. Once again, Peacock-Farrell could arguably have done better.
It was a mishit shot from Adams from outside the area which sneaked past Peacock-Farrell into the net.
After another shaky display from the 21-year-old, some Leeds fans called for Jamal Blackman to start.

However, others believed that Bielsa should keep faith in Peacock-Farrell.
Here are some Leeds fans debating the goalkeeper situation after a poor display from their academy product.
Peacock isn’t a promotion pushing GK.

BPF has had the easiest game of his life and let 2 goals in…big money on a keeper in January #lufc

As bad a half as I’ve ever seen BPF have. Young lad will learn from this.

I like BPF and he makes some crucial saves. But he gets beat at his near post many times and he conceded soft goals. His still young and learning and highly rated. But blackman for me is the better keeper ecspeacially after his display for sheff utd #lufc

We got to be careful with BPF, looks like pressure could affect him big time. Yeah he might not be the greatest keeper in the league but at this moment in time, he's the best keeper at Leeds. And we will have to stick with him #LUFC
