Sinisterra (55) – Gordon (17)
Assists –
Aaronson (55) – Iwobi (17)
Luis Sinisterra scored his first Premier League goal for Leeds as they came from a goal behind to draw with Everton in a pulsating encounter at Elland Road.
The Colombian winger, who hit his first goal for the club in the EFL Cup last week following a summer move from Feyenoord, drove in from 18 yards after the break as Leeds piled pressure on Everton.
They were much improved after a poor first half when Anthony Gordon scored for a second successive game, keeping his cool to slip the ball through Illan Meslier’s legs following Alex Iwobi’s through ball.
Leeds’s top scorer Rodrigo also went off with what Jesse Marsch confirmed afterwards was a dislocated shoulder following an innocuous challenge with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Leeds’s second-half recovery came after a first period where they showed plenty of effort but found Everton’s new-look defence too tough to breach.
Another good performance to start the season and keep us in the top 5, hopefully the injury to Rodrigo isn’t too bad.
League position 5th after 5 game – After 5 game last season, Leeds were 16th.
