Video & explanation as Leeds chief Victor Orta loses it with fan after equaliser vs Brentford

Footage of Leeds United Director of Football Victor Orta completely losing his cool with a member of the crowd in attendance at the club’s meeting with Brentford on Sunday has begun turning heads online.

Bamford at the death

Leeds, of course, were back in action earlier today.

After getting the better of Crystal Palace in their previous outing, the Whites welcomed Thomas Frank’s Brentford to Elland Road, aiming to make it two wins on the bounce for the first time this season.

And though, in the end, they didn’t quite manage as much, the eventual outcome in west Yorkshire was nevertheless widely celebrated across the club’s fanbase.

This comes with Marcelo Bielsa’s men having snatched a point from the jaws of defeat, deep into time added on.

After strikes on the part of Shandon Baptiste and Sergi Canos cancelled out Tyler Roberts’ early opener, the returning Patrick Bamford proved the hero, poking home off the underside of the crossbar with a full 94 minutes on the clock:

Orta fumes

As alluded to above, though, amid the chaotic scenes in the stands at Elland Road on the back of Bamford’s strike, one individual of a Leeds persuasion not at all in the mood for celebrating was Victor Orta.

Whilst others jumped for joy, the Peacocks Director of Football was spotted in a fit of delirious rage, forcing members of staff to intervene as Orta screamed and gestured in the direction of a member of the crowd:

Those in attendance at the clash, meanwhile, have since provided an insight into exactly what sparked Orta’s fury, with a Leeds supporter understood to have aimed a number of prior jibes in the direction of the club chief:

people who were there say someone in the crowd (Leeds fan) had a pop at Orta and Orta had a pop back after Bamford’s equaliser. Wasn’t holding back. #lufc

I sit beside him. It was a “ leeds fan” slagging him and victor went metal. Made potters reaction look very modest. The “fan” didn’t answer him back. Love this mans passion for our great club!
