Leeds United conceded five goals for the first time in a hundred European ties as their chances of making further progress in their UEFA Cup campaign virtually disappeared. A 3-5 defeat by a talented and well-organised PSV side left Howard Wilkinson’s men reeling and needing to win by three clear goals in the second leg in Holland. Against the Dutch side that were second only to the crack Ajax side in their country it seems a forlorn hope and one which, on the night’s performance, would be in the miracle category.

 

 

 

It was united’s one hundredth competitive game in Europe but it turned into a night to forget when defensive inadequacies were again in evidence in United’s display. The defeat in the first leg was all the harder to accept because Wilkinson’s men had pulled themselves back from a 1-3 score-line at half-time to draw level by the seventy-second minute, but all the hard work went to waste in a disastrous last seven minutes when Luc Nilis, probably the best player on the night, stole the show by scoring twice. It could have ended up 7-6. Tony Yeboah missed two chances that he would normally have put away, one from three yards and the other from eight yards, then Brian Deane could have scored and there looked to be a penalty when Noel Whelan was brought down.
