It's a tough place to come so it's a good point because Brighton are a good team. Leeds have only lost one of their last 12 games in the Premier League (won five, drawn six) – excluding promoted teams, no side have lost fewer in the competition in this period (since March 15th). Jayden Bogle's opener ended a run of 759 minutes without an away goal for Leeds against Brighton, with his strike the first by any player for the club there since November 2012.
