Jayden Bogle has scored one goal for Leeds United this season and played in all 10 of their Premier League matches so far Leeds United have condemned the "disgusting" online racist abuse directed towards defender Jayden Bogle following Saturday's 1-0 win against Tottenham. The 26-year-old Leeds defender was targeted after he escaped punishment for a first-half tackle on Mathys Tel that led to the Spurs forward hobbling off. The full-back caught the back of Tel's ankle with his studs but referee John Brooks decided not to punish him following a lengthy video assistant referee review.
