Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch admits they "fell apart" after defeat at Brentford.

The Bees thumped Leeds in the end 5-2 on Saturday.

Marsch later said: "Yeah, I think, first of all, some set piece situations in the first half that we talked about we tried to train but regardless we know that this is one of their strengths here. I thought before was 1-0 that the game was actually in pretty much in control and then I don't think it's a penalty, the first goal.

"What's a shame is we really pushed to get ourselves back in the game at 3-2 and that's when you really felt like the game fell apart a little bit. We have to get better defensively. The tough part is now we gave up five in one game and we've given up five and five and we've actually been fairly stable but this game was a little wild. We weren't able to do well enough.

"We're never going to point fingers and if anyone wants to point fingers then it should be at the manager, I have to put the players in position to succeed. We've been doing a really good job. I think we've had a lot of decent games and some really good performances and picked up some points early in the year. We know that we're going to have a lot more to do that teams are also understanding what we're trying to achieve and we're going to have to be able to adjust in matches.

"Sometimes we put our centre backs in difficult situations because when we like to counter press and be very aggressive with certain things forward that we need to put up some fires but we're tactically sound, I think we've done a good job of that. Again, before even 1-0 I thought we were we were finding a match and then even at the beginning of the second half, we create some big chances and maybe we could make it 2-2 and then obviously the game gets crazy.:"
