The better team won - McAllister

Gary McAllister

Leeds United manager Gary McAllister had few complaints after losing at Peterborough on Saturday.

The 2-0 defeat brought to an end Leeds' six-match winning streak and McAllister told BBC Radio Leeds the home side deserved the result.

"I felt that in the ugly parts of the game Peterborough definitely dominated," he said.

"I thought the best team won on the day - we were caught on the hop a bit and that surprises me."

And the Leeds boss added: "We know when we come to grounds like this that it's a big day, a sell-out for them, they're bang up for the game and we just didn't deal with Peterborough's closing down.

"I've got to say that barring three or four who I'd give pass marks to, the rest were passengers today."

McAllister also refused to blame an injury to David Lucas for the defeat.

606: DEBATE
"There can be no argument from Leeds fans. The best team over the 90 minutes won."

The goalkeeper dislocated a finger during the warm-up meaning Casper Ankergren made his first start in the league since August.

"No excuses, they were deserved winners today," said McAllister.

"Testimony to Casper, he's been sat on the sidelines for the last five or six games and he made a string of fantastic saves.

"He's been working very hard and that's what I expect.

"When one guy goes down, the guy that comes in to replace him is going to try to impress and Casper was impressive."
