It was definitely coming,&#8221; said Bailey.<br \/>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had some moments where the ball wouldn&#8217;t go in but I&#8217;m glad to take that opportunity today.&#8221;<br \/>Thereafter, Leeds dominated the first half but a combination of poor finishing, fortune and the inspired form of Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal kept them at bay.<br \/>&#8220;We displayed that we were the better team, but more importantly it was the best complete performance we&#8217;ve had as a team,&#8221; said Marsch.<br \/>&#8220;Obviously it is frustrating with points at a premium right now and you look at the table and the stress of that situation, but if we can play like this we have something to build on.&#8221;<br \/>Rodrigo did round Martinez when one-on-one, but his goalbound effort was cleared off the line by Villa debutant Alex Moreno.<br \/>Jack Harrison then seemed certain to equalise when he stormed in to meet Luke Ayling&#8217;s cross at the back post only to be denied by a stunning reaction save from Martinez.<br \/>Rodrigo finally did have the ball in the Villa net in first-half stoppage time, but the Spaniard had strayed fractionally offside in the build-up to the goal.<br \/>The pattern continued early in the second period as more heroics were needed from Martinez to turn behind a curling effort from the impressive Wilfried Gnonto.<br \/>But Leeds were hit with another sucker punch when Illan Meslier could only parry Bailey&#8217;s powerful drive and Buendia headed the rebound over the French goalkeeper.<br \/>Villa&#8217;s celebrations were initially cut short by the offside flag, but the goal was given after a VAR review.<br \/>Gnonto finally had something to show for a brilliant display when the young Italian international showed his strength before teeing up Bamford to slam home on his first appearance since October.<br \/>But it was too little, too late for Leeds as their winless run extended to seven games.
