Coleman: We Were Unfortunate

Last updated : 15 December 2003 By Mad Reporter
A Louis Saha brace had brought Fulham level at 2-2 with just five minutes remaining at Elland Road only for Leeds defender Dominic Matteo to scored with just two minutes left to give Leeds all three points.

"Last week we were fortunate to get three points but I think we were a bit unfortunate this week," Coleman told Sky Sports after the live telivision clash..

"We just wanted to take the game to Leeds. We kept chipping away and when we got the equaliser I thought we could go on and get another, but what happened at the end just rips your guts out.

"I was disappointed with the referee. When he gave the free-kick against Luis I looked at the big screen and it looked like a good tackle.

"I think all afternoon he could have given Louis Saha more support. I thought he was a bit lenient at times."
