Leeds Utd came from behind, but then let a two goal lead slip, earning just a point against lowly Hull City. The Whites hadn't played particularly well in either of their two previous games and continued to uninspire, against an injury ravished Hull side fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table. Apart from a twenty minutes period early in the second half, Leeds looked anything but title contenders. They were sloppy, disjointed and inept in the final final and duly went behind after just 5 minutes, caught out once again by a trademark diagonal long ball from midfield. Max Wober was never going to catch Kamara who calmly chipped Meslier who found himself out of his box in no-mans-land. Despite both sides missing guilt edged opportunities, the score-line remained the same going in at half-time.

The second half saw an immediate shift in momentum as Leeds found an equaliser. A moment of brilliance from Tanaka reignited their hopes. Positioned on the edge of the area, he expertly bent a rasping shot around Pandur, finding the far post. It was the shot in the arm Leeds needed to take a strangle-hold of the game - and for twenty minutes at-least, they took full advantage. Under relentless pressure from Solomon and James, the Hull defence began to buckle with visible signs of panic developing around their penalty area. Leeds persistence paid off on the hour mark; Solomon's dangerous cross was kept alive by the alert Bogle, who cleverly recycled possession to James, before smashing home from six yards out. Two quickly became three ten minutes later when Pandur's poor distribution set up a Leeds third. He inadvertently threw the ball straight to Piroe, who took full advantage, much to the excitement of the travelling fans who finally came to life in the second half.

Carrying a a two goal lead into the final twenty minutes the game looked cut and dried; that was until another moment of madness from Meslier deduced the deficit. Following a free kick into the box, he tried in vein to keep the ball from going over his cross-bar, suspecting perhaps that it was going out for a corner! In doing so, he dropped the ball to the feet of João Pedro, who from two yards out gave his side a lifeline going in to the final minutes of play. It was inevitable what was going to happen, and as the game went into injury time, the Tigers claimed an equaliser after the visitors failed to clear their lines after a corner.
