In great difficulty in the background Premier League standings, Leeds snatched a point at home (2-2) against Newcastle, third, but closely followed by Manchester United and Liverpool. Leeds opened the scoring quickly through Ayling who, after a header from Rodrigo repelled by Pope, took over with force from the left, from close range (7th).
The Yorkshire team could then have doubled the bet but Pope stopped the penalty shot by Bamford (28th) in two stages. Wilson, on the other hand, did not tremble in this exercise, since he scored two penalties (31st, 69th), the first following a foul by Wöber on Isak, the second consecutive to a hand from Firpo, who touched the ball. Despite this blow, Leeds equalized through Kristensen, whose shot was blocked by Trippier (79th).
Sam Allardyce’s men thus collect a precious point in the fight for maintenance, while the Magpies have lost two in the race for the Champions League.
