Sean Longstaff thumped home a 97th-minute equaliser as Leeds United snatched a late 2-2 draw at Wednesday night’s Premier League hosts Bournemouth - but how did we rate the performances?
After a goalless first half, Bournemouth went ahead on the hour mark through Junior Kroupi after a Marcos Senesi through ball but Leeds equalised just six minutes later as Willy Gnonto’s low strike hit James Hill’s heel for an own goal.
Bournemouth began to turn the screw again and ex-Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams set up Rayan to sweep home what looked set to be the winning goal in the 85th minute.
Leeds, though, served up one final huge twist as late substitute Longstaff connected to a cleared Ethan Ampadu long throw just inside the box with a rasping volley that flew into the net to put Daniel Farke’s Whites up to 40 points.
Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores following a thrilling ending on the south coast.
