Leeds boss Javi Gracia admits his players are "disappointed" after their 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Tuesday.

Jamie Vardy struck in the 80th minute via James Maddison's pass before having a potential winner ruled out for offside.

Leeds winger Luis Sinisterra had opened the scoring in the first half with a header from Jack Harrison's cross.

Gracia said, "We had started leading then we conceded the goal near the end and had some chances. We worked for that. We are disappointed we missed some chances but we take one point and try to do it again in the next game.

"I'm happy because we followed the plan with a good attitude. They show high commitment to the club and the situation we are living. This way we are closer to the three points.

"We have different options to play up front. In this case we chose Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford, knowing we would need to play more direct in some parts of the game.

"The dressing room is really disappointed but we have a point and we have to play five games, being ready to be at our best."

On Patrick Bamford's miss, he added: "To be honest I think it was maybe offside anyway but it was a clear chance and we had one good header from Marc Roca which was in my opinion the clearer chance in that moment."
