Leeds vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

It’s crunch time at both ends of the table and the hosts know they need a victory to keep their survival hopes realistically alive, with only three matches remaining including this one. Leeds sit 19th in the league, two points from safety, and can put pressure on the likes of Leicester and Everton later in the weekend if they pick up a result here.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are third and need only seven points from four matches to guarantee a top-four finish - they’ll see this game as a real opportunity to take a huge step towards that, though need a reaction after being beaten by Arsenal last time out.

A draw isn't enough to lift Leeds out of the drop zone, but they do move above Leicester City into 18th. They have two games left to try and save their Premier League status, with the first of those against West Ham next week. Newcastle stay third with that draw. They host Brighton and Hove Albion in midweek.

It was a game that had everything, as Leeds come from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw with Newcastle. The hosts took the lead just seven minutes in when Ayling fired in the rebound from Rodrigo's saved header. Two penalties turned it on its head; Bamford saw his saved at one end, while Wilson fired in his own at the other end just over three minutes later. In the second half, Newcastle got their second penalty of the game, with Wilson firing that one into the roof of the net. Kristensen's deflected effort pulled Leeds level, but the Whites finished with 10 men as Firpo brought down Gordon in stoppage time.

14:27

One last chance for Leeds to put the ball in the box as Forshaw swings it in. Burn clears, but only as far as Ayling, who sees his cross plucked out of the air by Pope. Forshaw then brilliantly stops Saint-Maximin from getting into the box at the other end.

While Newcastle are pushing for a winner, a Leeds fans makes his way down the touchline to confront Howe and give him a shove. He's quickly led away by security and the hosts win a free-kick on the pitch.

Robles is in no hurry to get the ball upfield after Leeds win a free-kick, but he needs to be careful having already been booked for time-wasting. He goes long, but Newcastle quickly get it back.

Leeds just can't get a touch on the ball at the moment as Newcastle patiently try to open them up. Trippier clips another cross into the box for Gordon, but he can't get a sight of goal.

14:05

OFFSIDE! Gordon slides it through to Isak, who looks to be in an offside position, but with no flag, he drives into the box. He unselfishly squares it to Saint-Maximin, who fires it past Robles before a very belated flag goes up.

Robles comes a long way out of his box to try and clear a long ball, but he misjudges is horribly. It bounces well in front of him, but Kristensen reacts quickly to dart onto it and clear it before Isak gets there.

PENALTY? The cross comes in from the left for Newcastle this time and he's looking for Isak at the far post. He heads it wide and immediately shouts for a penalty for handball. Firpo's arm is over his head and VAR is having a look at this...

Leeds work it well down their right and it's a great cross into the box from Rodrigo. Bamford has it back to goal so tries to cushion it down for Koch, but plays it slightly behind it, and the chance goes to waste.

Allardyce will be pleased with the start his side made to the game and will be trying to replicate that in the second half while shaking off the penalty disappointment. Newcastle took a long time to get a foothold but looked much better after getting the equaliser. They just need to keep that up after the break.

Leeds United vs Newcastle United

13:23

It's all square at the break, with Leeds and Newcastle drawing 1-1. The hosts made a great start to the game, with Ayling firing in the rebound from Rodrigo's saved header to give them the lead just seven minutes in. But, it's a story of two penalties within five minutes that changed the game. Bamford saw his saved by Pope at one end, only for Newcastle to win one that Wilson confidently nestled into the bottom corner to pull them level.

12:57

It's a lovely ball over the top from Schar to pick out Trippier's unmarked run down the right and he watches it all the way before drilling a first-time cross towards Wilson. Wober reads it well, sticking out a leg to take it off him.

Leeds United vs Newcastle United

12:53

Leeds have started all four of their Premier League matches when starting the day in the relegation zone this season, compared to just three wins in their 31 when not in the bottom three (D9 L19).

Leeds United vs Newcastle United

12:49

It's a neatly worked move from Newcastle as it's switched out to the left by Isak. Willock slots it forward for Almiron on the overlapping run, and he gets it out of his feet before firing into the side netting.

SAVE! Burn's throw-in is flicked into the near post for Wilson, who has Kristensen tight to his back. He turns the defender but can't get any power on the shot, and Robles holds onto it.
