Leeds United 2-2 Newcastle United: Hosts keep survival hopes alive with Newcastle draw as Junior Firpo sees red

Leeds United's Premier League survival hopes received a late lift as they came from behind to earn a battling point against Newcastle United at Elland Road - in a match with three penalties and a red card.

Interim manager Sam Allardyce will be delighted by the spirit shown by Leeds as it looked like they would suffer a damaging defeat despite taking the lead through Luke Ayling's early goal.

In a thunderous atmosphere, the game appeared to have turned when Patrick Bamford's penalty on the half-hour was saved by Newcastle keeper Nick Pope, the disappointment deepening when Callum Wilson restored equality for the visitors from the spot moments later.
