Leeds boss Sam Allardyce pockets fiver blown onto touchline after jokingly trying to pay official

Sam Allardyce chuckled as he pocketed a fiver he found on the touchline as Leeds took on West Ham.

The Whites manager could not believe his luck after Rodrigo gave the visitors the lead at the London Stadium.

Allardyce found a fiver on the touchline

A cheeky Allardyce even tried to pay the official

And Allardyce’s day got a bit better when he saw a five-pound note that had blown onto the touchline just behind the fourth official.

In jovial fashion, he tried to hand the official the note before putting it in his pocket while laughing.

However, his luck ran out soon after when Declan Rice grabbed an equaliser for West Ham at the same time Patrick Bamford was injured with a hamstring problem.

On a blustery but sunny day at the London Stadium, one unlucky fan will rummage through their pockets to find they are five-pound down.

But Allardyce would trade it back in a heartbeat if it meant Leeds left London with all three points.

The Yorkshire outfit are desperately trying to stay in the Premier League and sit in the bottom three.

Rodrigo had scored a volley from a throw-in

A win would see them leapfrog 17th-placed Everton, who mustered a draw on Saturday against Wolves.

But time is running out for Leeds, who only have one more match after today’s match.

Rodrigo had scored the opener for the Whites after a quick start to the afternoon for the visiting side.

However, West Ham grew back into the game and struck through Declan Rice, who might be playing his final match for the Hammers at home with Arsenal linked.

Leeds’ soft defence were at fault again, who have failed to keep a clean sheet since February.
