Ex-Leeds United star Jermaine Beckford thought Anton Stach should have been served justice following a tackle by West Ham star Max Kilman this Sunday.
The Whites were already up 1-0 in the first half of the Quarter-final FA Cup clash against the Hammers at the London Stadium, before Stach ran through on goal.
The German fired his effort straight at Alphonse Areola, but Kilman caught him while trying to block his shot.
Daniel Farke was most likely furious about Craig Pawson and VAR’s decision not to award the Whites a penalty and keep Kilman on the pitch.
Stach could now face a lengthy spell out through injury, and Beckford paints the bigger picture for Leeds’ season in the Premier League.

Stach has been a revelation for Leeds since joining in the summer, and is in the running for the player of the season.
After being called up to Germany’s national team, Farke and Leeds supporters will have been praying that the midfielder came back unscathed.
While speaking on TNT Sports at halftime, Joe Cole and Beckford provided their thoughts on the incident.
Cole said: “I think he [Pawson] got it wrong, I’m happy he got it wrong.”
Beckford replied: “He definitely got it wrong, he definitely got it wrong. Anton Stach; his leg is busted now, which could be a key moment in Leeds United’s season.”
