Leeds United Under-23s snatch late point at Sheffield Wednesday as Jean-Kevin Augustin and Ian Poveda feature

Leeds United's Under-23s struck deep into added time to earn a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Monday afternoon.

Carlos Corberan picked a strong line-up for the trip to South Yorkshire as Jean-Kevin Augustin started with Ian Poveda, Jamie Shackleton and Gaetano Berardi named on the bench.

It was the hosts who threatened early twice through Preslav Borukov before Pascal Struijk fired a header from a corner over the bar.

Wednesday threatened again as Manuel Hidalgo struck the side netting from distance with Liam McCarron then seeing a deflected low ball hit the crossbar at the opposite end.

Augustin had one real look at goal as Charlie Cresswell picked out the darting forward run from the Frenchman over the top of the defence but Joe Wildsmith tipped his volley past the post.

The 22-year-old then suffered a knock on the stroke of half-time but carried on after treatment before being replaced as planned at the interval with Poveda coming on.

It was Leeds who started the second half on the front foot as Niall Huggins broke into the area to slide a shot under the Wednesday stopper but the defence retreated just in time to clear the effort off the line.

The hosts then opened the scoring themselves from a set-piece as Hidalgo shot low at Meslier with the rebound falling to Ciaran Brennan who turned the ball home into an empty net.

It was against the run of play but the strike buoyed Wednesday until a frantic minute saw two goals in a little over 60 seconds.

First United levelled through a free-kick themselves as Huggins this time got himself on the scoresheet due to a mix-up between goalkeeper and defender which allowed his shot to fly through into the net untouched.

Wednesday, though, hit back immediately following the restart with Josh Dawodu driving on from defence.

The right-back picked out forward Liam Shaw inside the box who fired past Meslier and into the bottom corner of the goal to restore the advantage.

Leeds pushed on in search of another leveller as Bobby Kamwa saw the ball stolen off his toes in the six-yard box before the Whites did snatch a point for their efforts in the dying seconds.

Captain Bryce Hosannah burst down the right and fired a low ball across goal with Shaw this time turning the ball home into his own net in the second minute of added time.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Hosannah, Casey (Berardi 45), Struijk, Cresswell, Jenkins, Kamwa, Stevens (Shackleton 45), Huggins, McCarron, Augustin (Poveda 45). Subs not used: Caprile, Hudson.
