Leeds United’s victory over Queens Park Rangers was marked by a missed penalty call that could have increased their score.
Ex-FIFA referee Keith Hackett criticized QPR’s Steve Cook for blocking a pass from Leeds’ Mateo Joseph with his arm, suggesting the handball was intentional and should have led to a penalty.
Despite this, Leeds secured a 2-0 win, with goals from Jayden Bogle and Joel Piroe keeping them strong contenders in the Championship race.
