Leeds took an early lead with their first attack of the game as Rodrigo’s header was clawed away by Nick Pope only for Luke Ayling to pounce on the rebound to make it 1-0 to the hosts. Patrick Bamford then had a great opportunity to double Leeds’ lead from the penalty spot but was denied by Nick Pope.
Minutes later, Newcastle had a penalty of their own as Callum Wilson drew the visitors level after 32 minutes. And the score remained 1-1 at half-time.
Newcastle were then awarded a second penalty of the afternoon midway through the second half for a handball by Junior Firpo. Wilson once again made no mistake from the penalty spot as he put the ball straight down the middle.
Rasmus Kristensen then drew Leeds level with a deflected effort after Newcastle failed to clear the danger from a corner.
Leeds were reduced to 10 men in stoppage time as Junior Firpo fouled Anthony Gordon but the hosts were able to see out the 2-2 draw.
