"Leeds United rallied late on to salvage a 1-1 draw against Brentford in a low-quality Premier League contest at Gtech Community Stadium. Jordan Henderson's first goal in the competition since December 2021 broke the deadlock in the 70th minute on Sunday. Yet Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for a fourth league game running when he headed home from Wilfried Gnonto's superb cross 12 minutes later."
"Brentford's opener had arguably come against the run of play, with Keith Andrews' team offering little until the introductions of Rico Henry and Mikkel Damsgaard 16 minutes into the second half. That duo combined to set up Henderson, whose finish was deflected in by Jaka Bijol, but Brentford - who had a penalty awarded but then overturned by VAR in the first half - could not hold out for what Leeds would have felt was an undeserved victory."
Leeds United rallied late to salvage a 1-1 draw against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium. Jordan Henderson scored his first Premier League goal since December 2021 to put Leeds ahead in the 70th minute. Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised twelve minutes later with a header from Wilfried Gnonto's cross, his fourth consecutive league match with a goal. Brentford had a penalty awarded and then overturned by VAR in the first half. Substitutes Rico Henry and Mikkel Damsgaard helped create Henderson's goal. Leeds registered 1.39 expected goals to Brentford's 0.71 xG and Caoimhin Kelleher made a key late save.
