Leeds United 2-2 Brighton: Jack Harrison nets equaliser after scoring own goal

Javi Gracia's Leeds United return to home soil this afternoon to take on Brighton and Hove Albion

Javi Gracia's Leeds United return to home soil this afternoon to take on Brighton and Hove Albion

Welcome along to today's live Leeds United coverage as the Whites return to home soil to take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League. Javi Gracia picked up his first win at Elland Road a fortnight ago against Southampton and he'll be hoping to see his side make the most of their home comforts once more.

The Whites know a win could see them put three points between themselves and the drop zone, but dropped points could result in them falling into the bottom three once more. Brighton are in a rich vein of form under Roberto De Zerbi, losing just one league game since the turn of the year and they know they could move up to within touching distance of a spot in Europe should they pick up the points.

Gracia will be hoping to welcome several players back from injury, with Luis Sinisterra, Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford fighting to be fit. We're reporting live from Elland Road all afternoon to bring you all the team news, build-up and match updates.

Full-Time

It ends 2-2. Superb goals from Bamford and Harrison see Gracia's side pick up a point at home.

Leeds worked hard for that as they battled to come from behind on two occasions. Brighton played well and will feel hard done by to leave without claiming all three points.

Sinisterra on

The Colombian replaces Harrison.

Firpo meanwhile goes into the book as he picked up a yellow for a foul on March on the edge of the area that eventually sees Dunk shoot wide after a spell of Brighton pressure

Nearly for Rodrigo

Adams picks Rodrigo out with a great pass but the forward is immediately swamped as Webster dives in to win the ball before he can shoot.

The Brighton man comes up injured and is replaced by van Hecke.

Mitoma still dangerous

As much as Leeds want a winner, they have to be careful here.

Mitoma has got joy down the left-hand side all game and whipped in another low dangerous cross that Meslier gathers.

This game is on a knife-edge.

Rutter comes on

Gracia makes another change as Rutter replaces Aaronson.

Just over five minutes left plus stoppage time for Leeds to find a winner here.

Yellow for Caicedo

Gnonto plays Aaronson through on the break and the Brighton man catches him from behind in cynical fashion.

A yellow card all day long.

Harrison levels the scores!

If the Bamford goal came from nowhere then what about this from Harrison!?

Gnonto lays the ball short into Harrison from a corner who curls a sublime finish into the top corner from a tight angle.

That Welbeck miss could prove vital.

2-2, a huge 10 minutes left in this match. Can Leeds now snatch a winner?

Another Welbeck chance

He really should have done better.

Welbeck gets past Wober with ease but falls at the final hurdle as he shoots wide from 10-yards out. Should have put the game to bed, but thankfully for Leeds it somehow stays 1-2.

Again from Meslier

Welbeck played through one-on-one but Meslier does superbly to push the ball away from the striker as he looked to take the ball around him to tap into an empty net.

1-2, 74 minutes gone.
