Leeds United produced a great team performance against Bournemouth on Saturday but one star has been rewarded for his efforts with a place in WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Week. Daniel Farke’s side were left disappointed with a 2-2 draw after Eli Junior Kroupi’s added-time equaliser but can be proud of another strong Elland Road showing.
The Whites fell behind to Antoine Semenyo’s free-kick but, as happened at Wolves the weekend before, turned the game around with goals either side of half-time. Joe Rodon headed home a Sean Longstaff corner on 37 minutes before the latter placed a lovely half-volleyed effort into the top corner shortly after the break.
A lapse in concentration allowed Kroupi to meet Marcos Senesi’s added-time knockdown but despite the late disappointment, Leeds left Elland Road with their heads held high. And one star performer has been named in the most recent Team of the Week alongside colleagues from Sunderland, Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
