Leeds United and AFC Bournemouth Lock Horns in Thrilling Stalemate

Leeds United also made it 2-1 in the 54th minute, when Sean Longstaff scored.
"It's a good feeling when you score in stoppage time," Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola said.
"It was a physical game. They have Calvert-Lewin, Longstaff, players punishing us in every set-piece. All of the goals came from set-plays. It was a game with big fights, quite physical, not too clean. Not clear chances," he added.
The equaliser came in extra time, when Eli Kroupi scored for AFC Bournemouth, with an assist by Marcos Senesi.
