Dawson had tried his earnest best, but the sting of things just going against the team sat with Leo.
Slowly, it began to swell into further annoyance as the match continued, resulting in differences in his game.
It was noticeable but only if you looked closer enough.
He was taking his chances a little earlier, turning when he would normally have recycled possession and trying to carry the ball through only half-open spaces.
But as the minutes passed, the patience that had made his game so difficult to disrupt began to disappear.
He received from Reyes near the halfway line with Odegaard closing from behind.
Usually, Leo would have taken the safer touch towards Bennet and allowed Wigan to build again.
Instead, he spun away from Odegaard and drove straight at Rice.
The midfielder stepped across, forcing Leo to release the ball towards Ezra, who immediately returned it into his path.
