Leeds United kept their perfect record in the Premier League this season after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. The match was marked by missed chances and defensive resilience from both sides, with neither team able to secure a decisive advantage. Leeds took the lead in the 15th minute when Jayden Bogle tapped in a goal after a sequence of play involving Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ao Tanaka. Calvert-Lewin’s header was initially blocked by Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, but the ball was cleared to Bogle, who finished easily. This was the first away goal Leeds had scored against Brighton in nine visits since 2012, highlighting the significance of the achievement. Brighton leveled the score in the 71st minute through Luka Vuskovic, the club’s most expensive summer signing, who headed in a corner from Maxim De Cuyper. Vuskovic, who joined from Tottenham for £46 million, scored his first goal in English football, a moment that proved crucial for the Seagulls. The goal came after a period of sustained pressure from Brighton, who had struggled for much of the match due to injuries to key players like Georginio Rutter, Yankuba Minteh, and Kaoru Mitoma. Leeds had multiple chances to extend their lead, including a missed opportunity by Calvert-Lewin in the 23rd minute. His shot was blocked on the line by Lewis Dunk, and later, Tanaka hit the crossbar from a corner. Another goal from Tanaka was disallowed for offside after a cross from Anton Stach. Despite these chances, Leeds were unable to add to their lead. Brighton, meanwhile, improved in the second half and created several chances, including a shot from Pascal Gross in the 89th minute that went just wide. The draw leaves Leeds with five points from their first three Premier League games, keeping them in a strong position at the top of the table. Brighton, now one point behind, will need to improve their consistency if they are to challenge for higher positions in the league.
