Match Report
Leeds secured a dramatic late victory over Brighton at Elland Road, with the match remaining goalless through a first half that saw the hosts dominate possession without finding a breakthrough. Both managers turned to their benches around the hour mark, Leeds introducing Aaronson, Tanaka and Daniel James while Brighton responded with Veltman and Welbeck in search of a foothold in the game.
Despite controlling 66% of the ball and generating an expected goals figure of 3.06 compared to Brighton's 0.39, Leeds had to wait until the 90th minute for the decisive moment, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin broke the deadlock with a late winner. The goal proved costly for Calvert-Lewin personally, however, as he was shown a yellow card in stoppage time. Brighton managed just one shot on target across the entire match.
Our pre-match AI model had rated a Brighton win as the most likely outcome at 57%, a call that ultimately proved wide of the mark as Leeds' sustained pressure finally told in the closing seconds of regulation.
