Leeds United produced another late show as they drew 2-2 with Brentford on Sunday afternoon, with Tyler Roberts on the scoresheet.

Leeds went in front as Roberts flicked in Raphinha’s cross, but Brentford came back into it.

Shandon Baptiste brought the Bees level before Sergi Canos completed the turnaround by putting Brentford in front.

Leeds desperately looked for an equaliser and it came with more seconds to play, with substitute Patrick Bamford marking his return from injury with a goal.

Having scored late on to beat Crystal Palace in midweek, this was another last-gasp moment for Leeds.

Marcelo Bielsa still can’t get his side going this season, and fans are worried – but are also pleased for Roberts.

Leeds United fans praise Roberts display

Leeds fans have been heavily critical of attacker Roberts in recent times, with his lack of goals a concern.

Yet after a strong display against Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend, Roberts again impressed against Brentford.

Fans have been praising the Welshman, suggesting that he has stepped it up massively of late.

Others hailed Roberts for his work rate whilst believing that some fans will be silenced by his display.
