Leeds came from 3-1 down, to overpower a spirited Bournemouth side, inflicting a fourth consecutive defeat on the South Coast outfit. Leeds started brightly, and were ahead after just 3 minutes. Summerville's surging run was unceremoniously ended when he was clipped in the box. Rodrigo stepped up, and added his seventh of the season. Leeds lead only lasted four minutes. A long diagonal ball released wing-back Fredericks down the right channel. His forward ball gave Billing the time and space needed to deliver a speculative cross into the Leeds penalty area. Koch inadvertently flicked the ball into the pathway of Tevernier, who drilled the ball past Meslier to level the game with less than 10 minutes on the clock.

Billing turned from provider to goalscorer for Bournemouth's second on 19 minutes. Tevernier latched on to Senesi's long, over the top ball, allowing the Leeds born winger to cut inside, before testing Meslier's resolve. The rebound fell kindly back to Tevernier who tee'd the ball up for Billing, who smashed the ball into the top upright, and take the lead. The visitors could have extended their lead further, but a smart save from Meslier and some wasteful opportunities saved Leeds blushes. The half-time whistle couldn't come quick enough, and when it did, a chorus of boos echoed around Elland Road. The visitors started the second half on top, and took what seemed to be an unassailably two goal lead. A terrible Leeds corner was cut out, and soon Tevernier was once against released on the counter-attack. His low cross into the box was flicked past Meslier by Solenke, leaving Jesse Marsch just shaking his head.

Sam Greenwood mounted a Leeds Utd comeback on the hour mark with a 25 yard screamer, followed eight minutes later when Greenwood's corner was nodded home by Captain Cooper. This set up a tense final twenty minutes, during which time Bournemouth were starting to feel the effects of the match. Leeds winner came six minutes from time. Cooper cut out Lewis Cook's free kick, as the ball fell kindly to Gnonto. The Birthday boy sprinted from one end of the pitch to the other before releasing Summerville who was one on one with Travers (the Bournemouth keeper). The Dutchman kept his composure to fire home from close range following Gnonto's sublime pass giving Leeds their second victory in as many games, as they surged up the league to 12th, with a game in hand over most of their opponents.
