Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has refused to be drawn into a row with Millwall counterpart Neil Harris following Saturday's 1-1 draw at The Den.

Leeds United's Jack Harrison scored an 89th minute equalizer to preserve his side's unbeaten start to the season, provoking wild celebrations from the bench.

Millwall manger Neil Harris described the celebrations as "a disgrace... completely over the top". 

However, Bielsa would not comment on his counterpart's remarks.

"I participate in the dispute only when I think when you exchange arguments with the opponent, this will increase the understanding of the public," he said.

"I have an idea what we should make public and not make public. I also understand the meaning of comparing opinions publicly.

"I also assume the fact that I'm a foreigner and I'm welcomed and received by the football of a country that is not mine. So these points are enough for me to avoid any response."
