Leeds United legend Eddie Gray feels the Whites would have been under more pressure last night had Wigan possessed a better quality of players in their team.
Wigan were tottering in the relegation zone and had collected just a point from their away travels this season before they took the field at Elland Road to take on Garry Monk’s men.
And things looked to be following the script when Chris Wood gave the lead to Leeds in the 29th minute, but Wigan never gave up and kept fighting until they found the equaliser in stoppage time through a Shaun MacDonald goal.
The Leeds legend admits that Wigan played well enough to deserve the point and feels that during passages of the encounter they actually dominated the home side at Elland Road.
And Gray feels had Wigan possessed more quality they could have create even more problems for Leeds towards the end as they mounted incessant pressure on the home side’s defence.

The Leeds legend said on LUTV: “I think [Wigan manager] Gary Caldwell will think they deserved something out of the game.
“They were the away side, but for periods of the game we looked like the away team, sitting in there and they were just probing, getting the possession.
“Eventually they were making inroads and getting in and around the box.
“If they had better quality players then with the possession they had in the second half we'd have been under pressure.”
