But Leeds pulled a goal back on the hour mark through a sublime finish from substitute Sam Greenwood, who then equalized as his corner was headed home by captain Liam Cooper in the 68th minute. Incredibly, the Whites took the lead in the 84th minute after excellent work from another substitute in Willy Gnonto, who burst into the middle of the park on his 19th birthday before playing at Summerville, converted to send Elland Road wild .

3. Liam Cooper
