"He is competing to improve our attacking third with Ollie Watkins. We played both today because we needed him. He was good. Today we achieved one point with his goal."
""We spoke about it a few times in training [playing together], and luckily we were able to grab the goal so the gaffer can see that it can work," said Abraham. "We know he is a top striker, and he has been here for a few years and scored many goals, so it is fantastic competition to have.""
""The outcome of this game was equal," said the German. "I am proud of my warriors today against a team in the title race. Top performance in the first half, didn't allow much. '[It's a] hard-fought and well-deserved point.'""
Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Leeds at Villa Park after Tammy Abraham equalised in the 88th minute. Anton Stach scored for Leeds from a first-half free-kick. Abraham's goal was his first Premier League strike since Boxing Day 2020 with Chelsea. Ollie Watkins started the match and continues as Villa's primary attacking presence. Abraham and Watkins have practised playing together and demonstrated compatibility when paired. Villa remain in the chase for Champions League qualification next season. Leeds extended their unbeaten league run to three matches and secured a valuable point in their fight against relegation.
