Antonee Robinson made a return to the field while Brenden Aaronson faced off against Tyler Adams, but it was Chris Richards and Crystal Palace who stole the headlines with a dominant win over Liverpool.
Leeds 2 – 2 Bournemouth
Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams faced each other as Bournemouth travelled to Leeds.
Aaronson went nearly the full match, being subbed off in the 87th minute while picking up a yellow card for Leeds. Adams was subbed off in the 80th minute for Bournemouth.
Leeds had an early chance through Dominic Calvert-Lewin after a clever flick from Aaronson. The American had another moment of skill with a clever chest control before a bicycle kick cross to his forward, who’s header was wide.
It was Bournemouth who got the opening goal and Aaronson had the best view of it while laying on the ground. Antonie Semenyo rifled a free kick under the jumping wall, and right past the feet of Aaronson who was the unlucky player laying on the ground to prevent such a thing from happening. The opening goal came just 26 minutes into the first half.
Joe Rodon equalized 11 minutes later in the 37th minute with a nice header, while Sean Longstaff thought he had the game winner in the 54th minute after his shot bounced in off the near post.
Eli Junior Kroupi snatched a late equalizer in the third minute of added time at the end of the match with a clever back post finish.
Leeds sit in 12th place and play host to Spurs next weekend, while Bournemouth drop to sixth and take on Fulham.
