There are new owners in the directors’ box and a new man in the dugout at Elland Road but some things have stayed the same as Leeds’s defensive frailties came to the fore and their lack of a clinical striker looked likely to cost them upon their return to the Championship until Crysencio Summerville provided a platform for the new era.
Leeds spent the second half camped inside the Cardiff half as they aimed to cancel out goals from the debutants Josh Bowler and Ike Ugbo but they looked set to fall short until Summerville pounced on a blocked shot to equalise in the 95th minute in front of members of the club’s new ownership group, 49ers Enterprises.
