  • Leeds secured a dramatic 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, with substitute Sean Longstaff scoring a last-gasp equaliser in the seventh minute of added time.
  • Bournemouth had taken the lead twice through Junior Kroupi and Rayan, with James Hill scoring an own goal for Leeds to level the first time.
  • Longstaff's late strike denied Bournemouth a victory that would have seen them climb to sixth place in the Premier League table.
  • The draw moved Leeds to 40 points, nine clear of the relegation zone, and extended their unbeaten run to five games ahead of their FA Cup semi-final.
  • Bournemouth, despite stretching their unbeaten run to 14 games, were left frustrated after an Evanilson goal was disallowed for offside before Leeds' late equaliser.
