As well as saying a strike disallowed for offsider should have stood, he claimed Leeds’ first goal should have been ruled out for a foul on Izzy Brown.

James Collins levelled three minutes later, then Town had Matty Pearson’s strike disallowed for offside before Pearson’s own goal with 60 seconds to go proved decisive.

Jones said: “I don’t think I’m a biased manager. I try to be fair and try to be subjective with things.

“And, in my opinion, Matty Pearson is onside.
