Leeds United's evolving relegation picture as Whites drop and rivals suffer contrasting fortunes

Leeds United have slipped into the bottom three after their 2-2 draw with Brighton following victories for relegation rivals Everton and Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend.

Two stunning goals from Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison saw Javi Gracia's side come from behind on two occasions against Brighton at Elland Road. The home advantage would have no doubt left the Whites with a level of frustration when the full-time whistle blew, but given their opponent's recent form, it can be seen as a point gained rather than two dropped.

However, that would have been a far easier concept to come to terms with had it not been for the results of the teams around them. Following Liverpool's 7-0 demolition of bitter rivals Manchester United, nobody expected Bournemouth to stun Jurgen Klopp's side 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium in Saturday's early kick-off.
