Leeds United were hit with a fresh injury blow during the first half at West Ham, as Patrick Bamford limped off on 33 minutes.
Sam Allardyce's side had might a bright start in the must-win clash in east London and were rewarded with the opening goal when Rodrigo got on the end of a long Weston McKennie throw and fired home on 17 minutes.
That goal appeared to wake the hosts up and following a number of chances they levelled through Declan Rice just after the half hour. In the aftermath of that goal, Bamford received treatment for what looked to be a hamstring issue and was unable to continue.
