Overview

  • The Leeds forward equalized in the 47th minute with a close-range, one-touch finish from a Brenden Aaronson cross at the Stadium of Light.
  • The streak lifts his season tally to eight Premier League goals, the most by an English player this campaign.
  • The 1-1 result extended Leeds’ unbeaten league run to five matches and left them seven points clear of the relegation zone.
  • His form is fueling discussion of an England recall, while manager Daniel Farke praised him as “one of the best strikers in this league.”
