Analysis: Leeds subs make the difference

What a few weeks it has been for Leeds, with reaching the magical 40-point mark just the latest big milestone checked off.

They were not able to make it three straight Premier League wins - but it might have felt as if they for those in the away end as Sean Longstaff's volley arrowed into the bottom corner.

Victory over Wolves on Saturday took them to the brink of safety - and a point here might just have completed the job.

Adding to their points tally did not seem likely when Bournemouth, having dominated the early part of the second half, went in front.

But Daniel Farke turned to his bench and the game changed. Lukas Nmecha quickly made life uncomfortable for the home defenders, while Wilfried Gnonto's quick feet and direct approach offered the visitors a different dimension to their attack.

It was the latter's effort that led to the goal for 1-1 and while Bournemouth dealt with the flurry that followed, Leeds had shown they could get at them.

There was not quite the same response when they fell behind again, with the home side twice coming close to extending their lead.

But Leeds regrouped. Ethan Ampadu's long throws had caused issues during the night and did so again as Longstaff levelled.

With an FA Cup semi-final to come this weekend, Leeds fans will hope the good times just keep coming.
