Summervill­e is Leeds’ saviour

-

CRYSENCIO SUMMERVILL­E was the hero for Leeds once again after he netted the winner in a seven-goal thriller against Bournemout­h yesterday.

The 21-year-old Dutchman scored a late clincher against Liverpool at

Anfield last week and repeated the trick in a 4-3 success over Bournemout­h.

Summervill­e slotted past Mark

Travers with six minutes remaining to give Leeds another thrilling win.

Rodrigo opened the scoring at Elland Road with a third-minute penalty but Marcus Tavernier, Philip Billing and Dominic Solanke all scored to turn the tide for Bournemout­h.

Leeds staged their comeback on the hour mark when Sam Greenwood scored. Scotland internatio­nal Liam Cooper made it 3-3 before Summervill­e had the final say.

Elsewhere, Mathias Jorgensen scored an own goal in stoppage-time to give Nottingham Forest a point in a 2-2 draw with Brentford at the City Ground.

Steve Cooper’s side are now bottom of the table but took the lead in the 20th minute through Morgan Gibbs-White.

Bryan Mbuemo levelled for the Bees just before half-time from the penalty spot and Thomas Frank’s were ahead on 75 minutes through Yoane Wissa but Jorgensen’s own goal gave Forest a point.
