Marcelo Bielsa and Neil Harris have downplayed what appeared to be some tense moments towards the end of a tight clash between Leeds United and Millwall at the Den.

The opposition boss looked to delay giving back the home side the ball as Jack Harrison struck a late equaliser.

He apologised for his actions and took responsibility during the post-match press conference.

But Harris pointed to other incidents which involved his own bench as a dramatic final few minutes drew to a close.

Bielsa said: “I take responsibility for this situation because I make football longer than my colleague.

“If you win or you lose, it means a lot for us. Sometimes we behave in a kind of way and then you have to re-examine how you behave.

"I think I have the obligation of not behaving like this and I shouldn’t allow myself to behave like this because when you get more experience, older, you should moderate your behaviour.

“I apologise for my behaviour.”

Harris was relaxed about the situation and said he had spoken with the former Argentina manager after the game.

He said: “It's just football, isn't it? We should give the ball back quicker in our dugout but it's two minutes to go and you're 1-0 up at home, and obviously they got excited when they scored a goal.

“I spoke to Marcelo downstairs, no problem whatsoever. It's fine.”

Referee Chris Kavanagh turned down late penalty shouts for Millwall which saw Ryan Leonard and substitute Tom Elliott stumble in the box.

Harris was cautious to say whether they were penalties in his mind as he had not seen them at the time he was asked.

The Millwall boss added: “I've not seen it back [the penalties] so I'd be careful what I say. I think there were a couple close ones at the end, until I see them I'm not sure. At the time I think I got carried away in the excitement of the last minute.

“I thought it was a penalty at the time, gut feeling was that Tom got his body between the ball and the player.

“Contact? Not sure. I need to see it.”
