Vuskovic scores first Brighton goal in battling draw with Leeds United

[p]Making one change from their defeat to Chelsea last week, Fabian Hurzeler’s [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brighton/2XrRecc3/"]Brighton[/a] line-up contained 11 different nationalities, a club-first, under a sun-swept AMEX Stadium.[/p][p]It was a stop-start affair in the opening exchanges as both sides took a while to settle in. That was until the quarter-hour mark when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/leeds/tUxUbLR2/"]Leeds[/a] burst into the lead.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/calvert-lewin-dominic/0WmBe6U2/"]Dominic Calvert-Lewin[/a]’s header was parried after being picked out by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/elvedi-nico/fZO9OHIM/"]Nico Elvedi[/a], but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tanaka-ao/4lYAoXQu/"]Ao Tanaka[/a] was on hand to slide the ball across the face of goal for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bogle-jayden/xAdjsHZG/"]Jayden Bogle[/a], who fired home into an empty net.[/b][/p][p]That goal marked Leeds’ first at Brighton since November 2012, with the Whites failing to net in eight away meetings since. [/p][image alt="Momentum" id="572e131a-3923-432a-81ff-e2d400b8da33" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="3dd4c497-fa06-44e3-a58e-8fd44b8d98a6" original-width="2160" original-height="2702" /][p]Leeds should have doubled their lead before the half-hour mark, but Calvert-Lewin saw his effort cleared off the line by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dunk-lewis/xEyAI7pm/"]Lewis Dunk[/a], before Tanaka rifled a shot off the crossbar.[/p][p]Brighton finally began to grow into the contest soon after, as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/trafford-james/ET616yZQ/"]James Trafford[/a] had to be alert to get down low and stop [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gomez-diego/KrSC9Fhb/"]Diego Gomez[/a]’s powerful strike from the right side of the box.[/p][p]Daniel Farke’s men started the second half strongly and had a great opportunity to net a second less than 10 minutes after the restart.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ampadu-ethan/bH6VQUwF/"]Ethan Ampadu[/a]’s long throw caused chaos in the box, and the ball fell to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/stach-anton/h8i6ur8L/"]Anton Stach[/a], whose fierce effort was saved by the feet of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/verbruggen-bart/6PChQYLj/"]Bart Verbruggen[/a].[/p][p]The Whites did have the ball in the net after Tanaka poked it in from Stach’s free-kick, but the Japanese international was denied by the offside flag. [/p][p][b]Those moments came to haunt Leeds as Brighton levelled the scoreline with just over a quarter-hour remaining. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/de-cuyper-maxim/GGc6kPWT/"]Maxim De Cuyper[/a]’s corner kick was nodded in from close range by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vuskovic-luka/QLMh9ouh/"]Luka Vuskovic[/a], who showed great strength to hold off his marker.[/b][/p][image alt="Match stats" id="481b925a-ec08-4c69-9e4e-8d2a21be8cba" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="907b401e-5491-4168-9165-06a66d3f4b69" original-width="2160" original-height="2702" /][p]And [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gross-pascal/trpxfbO3/"]Pascal Gross[/a] could have snatched all three points with time running out, yet he failed to keep his shot down after a loose ball fell kindly to him in the box.[/p][p]Nonetheless, it will feel like points dropped for Farke’s men, who have now won just once in nine H2H meetings.[/p][p]Hürzeler’s side have registered a one in each result column to start their PL campaign, but remain unbeaten in their three home games this season, including their European endeavours with a gruelling schedule about to begin.[/p][p][b]Flashscore Man of the Match: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dunk-lewis/xEyAI7pm/"]Lewis Dunk[/a] ([a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brighton/2XrRecc3/"]Brighton & Hove Albion[/a])[/b][/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/brighton-2XrRecc3/leeds-tUxUbLR2/?mid=UBkmalpQ"]Get all the match stats here with Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
