Match Report
Bournemouth were seconds from all three points when Sean Longstaff's stoppage-time strike rescued a 2-2 draw for Leeds United at the Vitality Stadium. It was a stunning finish to a match that swung decisively in the second half.
Junior Kroupi opened the scoring in the 60th minute, threading through after a brilliant pass from Senesi. James Hill then leveled for Leeds in the 68th — an unfortunate own goal as Gnonto's effort deflected off his heel. Rayan restored the hosts' advantage in the 86th minute when Adams picked him out in the box, and Bournemouth looked home and dry — until Longstaff fired home deep into seven minutes of added time.
For Leeds, the comeback point is a timely confidence boost ahead of their first FA Cup semi-final in 39 years. Bournemouth, sitting in the European places, will rue letting this one get away.
