Leeds boss Javi Gracia admits Monday night's home thrashing by Liverpool is tough to take.
The Reds won 6-1, as Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both netted twice for Liverpool alongside goals from Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez. Luis Sinisterra struck for Leeds after halftime.
The 5-1 defeat against Palace on 9 April and Monday's loss represents the first time in their history they have conceded five or more times in successive games.
Gracia said: "It's hard to accept the game today, the result as well.
"We lost composure during the game. We tried in the beginning. Maybe the first goal opened the game and maybe it came from a handball but we have to improve for the next game.
"It is something we need to work on and try to improve.
"It is something we didn't do in previous games and now we are in the most important part of the season. We have to be more solid and defend better.
"There is only one way. Try to work hard and try to improve."
