Luke Ayling has hailed Leeds United's character after picking up a valuable point in the battle to avoid relegation with a draw against Newcastle United. The full-back opened the scoring in a highly-charged encounter at Elland Road on Saturday which finished 2-2.
Callum Wilson's brace from the penalty spot either side of the interval looked to have the visitors on course for a vital victory in their push to secure a top-four finish. However, Rasmus Kristensen's deflected strike 11 minutes' from time ensured the Whites ended their six-match losing run.
Ayling scored on his 250th appearance for United and following the full-time whistle, he was asked about the 'magic' impact of Sam Allardyce. The full-back admitted the new appointment had lifted the mood in the camp and has instilled belief ahead of their final two fixtures against West Ham and Tottenham.
