Goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrel brought down forward Ollie Watkins inside the area at Elland Road just past the hour mark, however subsequent replays show the 22-year-old may have already been going down before contact was made.
Jansson voiced his dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision after full-time. “I feel like shit to be honest,” the Swedish defender said. “This is a robbery.”

Neal Maupay converted the spot-kick to give Brentford a 62nd minute lead, before Jansson delivered an 88th minute equaliser with a late header to snatch a share of the spoils.
Luke Ayling was dismissed minutes later for a second yellow card, however Leeds hung on to secure a point which sees the Yorkshire club maintain top spot in the Championship.
“We must acknowledge that officials will make mistakes,” Leeds manager Marcelo Biesla acknowledged.
“No one will ever have a perfect game as it is very difficult. The images are there for people to see.”
