Leeds United came from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 today.

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.

Unsurprisingly, pundits took to Twitter to react to Leeds’ stunning fightback, with BT Sport’s Robbie Savage simply saying ‘wow’ at seeing them come back from the dead.

Trevor Sinclair joined in by saying it would be great to see them return to the Premier League, with ex-Leeds strikers Michael Bridges and Robbie Fowler adding their praise for their former club.
