Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizanni was delighted to scoop the FIFA Fair Play award.

The Elland Road club won the prize at the Milan ceremony on Monday following their sportsmanship in the Championship match with Aston Villa last season.

Leeds player Mateusz Klich scored to put his side ahead during the clash, but had done so while a Villa player was on the floor injured.

They then stepped aside to let Villa run through and score unchallenged to equalise as a gesture of goodwill.

After collecting the award, Radrizanni tweeted: "Beautiful evening for dirty leeds" @LUFC winning a fair play award @FIFAcom #TheBestAwards thanks for the invitation #Milano."
