Match summary
Leeds arrived on the south coast with confidence and played like a side determined to make their unbeaten start count. Jayden Bogle put them ahead after just 15 minutes, finishing off a move that had already caused Brighton problems.
And Leeds had chances to make the afternoon much easier. Dominic Calvert-Lewin went close, Ao Tanaka struck the bar and Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen was increasingly busy as the visitors threatened a second.
But Brighton weren’t finished.
The Seagulls gradually turned the pressure around after the break, and Luka Vušković became the unlikely hero, powering a header home from a corner in the 71st minute. Suddenly the Amex was alive and Brighton went hunting for a winner.
They couldn’t quite find it. Leeds survived the late onslaught to take a point, but the final score didn’t really tell the whole story of a match that swung dramatically from one side to the other

- Vušković rises to change the game. Leeds had looked the more dangerous side for long spells, but Luka Vušković’s 71st-minute header suddenly brought Brighton roaring back into the contest. What had looked like a comfortable Leeds afternoon became a frantic final 20 minutes.
