A dull first half in which Bournemouth had the better of the few chances created and more of the ball. The second half provided much more entertainment. Bournemouth continued to have more of the game and Kroupi got a goal on the break to get them ahead. Soon after Leeds gained momentum and forced an own goal, Gnonto’s driven cross deflecting off Hill. Bournemouth regained control of possession and went back ahead with a good finish from Rayan and were unlucky not to extend their lead as VAR ruled out Evanilson’s clinical finish for a very tight offside. Leeds capitalised on a late opportunity from a long throw in the last minutes at added time as Longstaff smashed the ball into the corner to draw the game, perhaps a result that should’ve been expected between the two teams that lead the league in their number of draws.

Leeds were comfortably the better team going 2-0 up in the first half from an overhead kick by Justin and a goal on the break from Okafor assisted by a fantastic cross by Aaronson soon after. The game then calmed down until half time. Wolves’ best chance was met by an excellent reaction save by Darlow. Aaronson risked red with a push on Krejcí after a challenge he was unhappy with but a yellow was a fair punishment, though the Wolves centre back went off injured. The officials were also affected with one of the linesmen having to be replaced by the forth official towards the end of the game. Calvert-Lewin did well to win the penalty and put it away calmly with his last touch of the game, condemning Wolves to almost certainly go down and giving Leeds a good chance to avoid relegation and focus on the FA cup semi final next weekend.
