Gary Lineker weighs in on 'sensational' Leeds United win after Bournemouth comeback

Match of the Day pundit Gary Lineker has hailed Leeds United's comeback at home to Bournemouth as a sensational game. The writing looked to be on the wall for Jesse Marsch and his side as they went 3-1 down not long after the second half restarted.

Rodrigo had given Leeds the lead from the penalty spot after just three minutes, but they were pegged back by Marcus Tavernier just four minutes later. Phillip Billing and Dominic Solanke gave the Cherries a two-goal cushion, before Sam Greenwood and Liam Cooper restored parity after the hour mark.

Crysencio Summerville would steal the headlines for the second week in a row with an 84th-minute winner, to give Marsch's side their first back-to-back wins of the season. Leeds are now up to 12th in the table with Bournemouth dropping to 16th.

It goes to show how quickly football can turn around, with pressure now off Marsch heading into the winter break. Leeds have a trip to Tottenham Hotspur next weekend in their final Premier League fixture before the World Cup.

Former Spurs striker Lineker was impressed by what he saw at Elland Road this afternoon. He tweeted: "Sensational game at Elland Road. @LUFC coming back from 3-1 down to lead 4-3. Some great goals to boot."
