Leeds started brightly and thought they had taken the lead through Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 11th minute, but VAR ruled the goal out for handball.
Bournemouth made them pay for that missed opportunity in the 31st minute. A costly mistake from goalkeeper James Trafford gifted possession to the hosts, and Justin Kluivert took advantage by setting up Evanilson, who calmly finished to make it 1–0.
Leeds pushed for an equaliser but struggled to break through Bournemouth’s defence. The visitors created opportunities but lacked the finishing touch when it mattered most.
Just when Leeds were hoping for a late comeback, substitute Amine Adli struck in the 90+4th minute, putting the result beyond doubt and sending the home supporters into celebration.
