"Bournemouth took the lead in the 26th minute, after Antoine Semenyo's driven free-kick flashed under the Leeds wall, before Joe Rodon restored parity with only his second goal in the top four levels of English football in his 177th such appearance. A lashed effort saw Sean Longstaff score his first goal for Leeds and put them in the driving seat, but the Cherries were resilient and salvaged a point, extending their unbeaten run to five Premier League games."
"Leeds, who are unbeaten on home soil so far this season, had won all seven of their league games against the Cherries at Elland Road going into Saturday's contest. "We had a really good game. I think we deserved to win this game," Farke said to BBC Sport. "At this level, small details can be punished. It is pretty heartbreaking, but I am proud of the performance.""
"Semenyo's free-kick means that he has been directly involved in 11 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth, scoring eight and assisting three. "It's a good feeling when you score in stoppage time. It was a physical game because they have [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin and Longstaff, players that can punish us in every set piece," Cherries boss Andoni Iraola told BBC Sport. "All of their goals came from set-plays. It was a game with big fights, it was quite physical and not too clean. There weren't many clear chances.""
