Leeds United 2-2 Newcastle United: Penalty drama as Sam Allardyce and Eddie Howe’s teams share spoils
Rasmus Kristensen struck a priceless equaliser for relegation-threatened Leeds United as Sam Allardyce’s first home match in charge ended in a rollercoaster 2-2 draw with Champions League chasing Newcastle United at Elland Road. The home side made a flying start when Luke Ayling hammered in the rebound from close range after Nick Pope had parried Rodrigo’s powerful header on seven minutes. Ad At this point Elland Road was rocking and the hosts had a chance to make it two on 28 minutes, but Patrick Bamford’s spot kick was well saved by Pope.
