Pascal Struijk’s equaliser against Brighton was the latest in a long list of late Leeds United goals this season. It has become a regular occurrence, especially at Elland Road, for the Whites to do their business in stoppage time.
Of the 18 points they have accumulated at home this season, Leeds have scored in added time in games that have contributed 12 points. It shows the impact that the 34,000 plus supporters have had on so many occasions when their counterparts at other stadiums might have flocked for an early exit.
Along with Rodrigo’s 94th-minute equaliser against Wolves and Patrick Bamford’s 95th -minute leveller against Brentford, Struijk’s late header brought a valuable point. While Raphinha’s penalty against Crystal Palace, Dan James’ goal against Burnley and Joe Gelhardt’s winner against Norwich all helped bring vital victories.
