Leeds United will rue two costly 'mistakes' despite coming from behind to earn a draw with Newcastle United. That is the view of the Match of the Day panel, after a late deflected Rasmus Kristensen strike ensured the points were shared at Elland Road on Saturday.
Sam Allardyce's first match in the home dugout got off to a dream start after Luke Ayling pounced on a rebound to fire the hosts in front after just seven minutes. Leeds were then awarded an opportunity to double their advantage from the penalty spot, only for Nick Pope to save Patrick Bamford's effort.
The Whites were then punished either side of the interval as Callum Wilson scored twice from the spot, with the equaliser coming after Max Wober brought Alexander Isak down inside the box. Minutes after Leeds spurned the opportunity to take a two-goal lead, Newcastle pulled themselves level and Shaun Wright-Phillips admits there was nothing Allardyce could have done about either of the goals his side conceded.
