Sean Longstaff: We more than held our own | OneFootball

Midfielder Sean Longstaff scored and got an assist in Leeds United’s 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth at Elland Road.

The Whites were on track for all three points until the visitors equalised deep into additional time, leaving the 27-year-old frustrated his side were denied the victory but pleased with the overall performance.

“I thought it was a really good game with two good teams,” Longstaff told LUTV after the full-time whistle.

“We know the way Bournemouth play, very high energy, very intense and sort of always makes for an exciting game.

“I thought we more than held our own obviously at times in the first half. We limited them to very few clear-cut chances.

“And I thought we were pretty good in the game. I thought we were obviously better in the second half than the first half.

“Like I said, I played here a few times and whenever the crowd gets up you always feel like at least we are going to score and now to have that on your side is a massive privilege really.

“I think to come here and play every week is something that I definitely don’t take for granted and looking to do that for as long as possible.

“Hopefully we can keep putting in performances and picking up points to stay in the league because ultimately there is nothing better than playing in this stadium when it is in the Premier League.”

Discussing his first goal for the club, Sean added: “I thought Brenden was going to score and then I just tried to hit it where I could and luckily it sliced into the top corner and a bit of a dodgy knee slide. A bit of relief to score a goal – I hadn’t scored in a little while so I was over the moon.”
