Leeds went ahead in just the third minute as Rodrigo converted a penalty won by Summerville but Bournemouth equalised just four minutes later after awful defending let in Marcus Tavernier to convert. More slack work at the back then led to Phillip Billing firing the Cherries ahead in the 19th minute and Bournemouth bagged a third goal just three minutes into the second half as Dominic Solanke netted from a counter from a Leeds corner.
But Leeds pulled a goal back on the hour mark through a majestic finish from substitute Sam Greenwood who then set up the equaliser as his corner was headed home by captain Liam Cooper in the 68th minute. Incredibly, the Whites then went ahead in the 84th minute after brilliant work from another substitute in Willy Gnonto who stormed through the middle of the park on his 19th birthday before playing in Summerville who converted to send Elland Road wild.

2. Rasmus Kristensen
6 - Some very shaky moments defensively, first half especially, but showed real heart to stick in and got better as it went on. Photo: Marc Atkins
3. Liam Cooper
6 - Found himself in a battle with Moore, couldn't completely get on top. Goal was a vital moment, played well in the later stages. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
4. Robin Koch
5 - Well below his standards in the first half. Showed some improvement in the second half. Photo: Marc Atkins
5. Pascal Struijk
6 - Similar story to Kristensen in the first half. Did well in possession during the second half, helped build momentum and attacks. Photo: Harriet Lander
6. Tyler Adams
8 - Another of those occasions when he's everywhere seemingly all at once. Grew in influence as Leeds took control in the second half. Photo: Marc Atkins
