Angelo Ogbonna makes observation about Leeds United crowd after West Ham victory at Elland Road
and live on Freeview channel 276
Ogbonna played the full duration of Saturday's Premier League clash in West Yorkshire in which Leeds took a 19th-minute advantage through a Raphinha strike in front of a crowd of 36,417.
But it was West Ham' s visiting fans who were left celebrating after the contest's conclusion as a Junior Firpo own goal after a Jarrod Bowen strike and then a late Michail Antonio winner turned the game on its head.

“In the second half everyone did their job and we deserved to win.
“We know that it’s not easy to play against Leeds. They run all the way and for us to come here and get three points is magnificent.
"The crowd here is always unbelievable, but I think our fans today were another man on the pitch.
