Leeds United beat Aston Villa 3-2 at Villa Park this afternoon.
Leeds United produced a stunning fightback this afternoon as they beat Aston Villa 3-2 at Villa Park, having been 2-0 down inside 20 minutes.
The Whites travelled to Villa Park with some fresh injuries in their side as Patrick Bamford missed out, and it got even worse when left back Barry Douglas was ruled out from the warm-up, forcing youngster Leif Davis to play.
Villa took full advantage early on as red-hot striker Tammy Abraham scored inside five minutes, and Villa grabbed a second just over ten minutes later as Conor Hourihane scored.
At 2-0 down with injuries and a host of inexperienced kids on the bench, it looked pretty bleak for Leeds at half time – but Marcelo Bielsa’s men fought back admirably.
Substitute Jack Clarke brought Leeds back into the game at 2-1, and defender Pontus Jansson hauled the Whites level just five minutes later, before Kemar Roofe completed the comeback with a dramatic 95th minute winner.
Winger Clarke really changed the game after coming on as a substitute, coming on for the ineffectual Jack Harrison as the Manchester City loanee continues to struggle at Elland Road.
Harrison was slammed by fans during and after the game, with some suggesting that he was anonymous and not good enough to play for Leeds, branding him a League One player and even worse than Hadi Sacko as Harrison appeared to be the big loser from today’s incredible win.
