Leeds United 4-3 Bournemouth: Captain Liam Cooper heads equaliser for Whites

Leeds United fought back from 3-1 down to beat Bournemouth in a remarkable game played out in an electric atmosphere at Elland Road.

Leeds were looking to build on last week's victory at Liverpool and they got off to the perfect start when Rodrigo scored from the penalty spot after Marcos Senesi brought down Crysencio Summerville after just 51 seconds.

But their dream start quickly turned sour as Bournemouth equalised from their first serious attack through Marcus Tavernier's volley before Philip Billing lashed past Illan Meslier to give the Cherries the lead.

In a breathless encounter, Dominic Solanke made it 3-1 early in the second half with a delicious finish, only for Leeds, who were booed off the pitch by their own fans at half-time, to hit back with two goals in eight minutes.
