Brighton salvage point from Leeds with late header

Brighton secured a 2‑1 victory over Leeds United at the American Express Stadium, denying the visitors their first Premier League win at the ground. The hosts took the lead through a well‑placed finish from their striker in the 23rd minute, but Leeds responded with a quick equaliser from the midfield in the 35th minute. Brighton then staged a comeback in the second half, with goals from their winger and a late header, to clinch the win.

The result keeps Brighton’s unbeaten run at the Emirates fully intact, while Leeds remain winless at the venue after three previous visits. The match added another point to Brighton’s push for a top‑six finish, and left Leeds still searching for their first victory in the Premier League at a foreign stadium. The game was marked by a high‑intensity midfield battle and a number of key substitutions from both managers, which ultimately tipped the balance in Brighton’s favour.
