The two were ultimately unable to separated at the full-time whistle, with Sean Longstaff snatching a late 2-2 draw for Leeds United with a 97th-minute equaliser.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two teams.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 17

Bournemouth wins: 2

Draws: 4

Leeds United wins: 11

Bournemouth and Leeds United have faced each other just 17 times across all competitions and it is the Whites who boast the superior head-to-head record having posted 11 wins to the Cherries’ two, while four draws have been played out between the two clubs.

January 1939 was the very first time these two teams butted heads, with Leeds securing a 3-1 home victory over Bournemouth - known then as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic - in the third round of the FA Cup.

This match represents the first and only cup meeting to date in this head-to-head, with each of the last 16 encounters taking place across the old Division Two, League One, Championship and Premier League.

In the old Division Two, Leeds celebrated four wins and played out two draws across six games against Bournemouth between October 1987 and May 1990, keeping five clean sheets in the process.

Fast-forward to the 2007-08 campaign, Leeds also did the double over Bournemouth in League One, with a 3-1 away win followed by a 2-0 home victory. While the Whites failed to secure promotion via the playoffs that season, the Cherries suffered relegation to League Two.

However, Bournemouth bounced back and found themselves locking horns with Leeds once again just five years later in the Championship following two promotions.

The Cherries were beaten 2-1 at Elland Road in October 2013, but they celebrated their first ever victory over the Whites in the reverse fixture five months later, claiming an emphatic 4-1 home triumph thanks to two goals each from Yann Kermorgant and Lewis Grabban.

Bournemouth were then promoted as second-tier champions in 2014-15, despite losing both home and away to Leeds - a side responsible for a quarter of their total league defeats that season (eight).

Both teams are now competing in the Premier League and have had mixed success in this fixture, winning one, drawing two and losing one each of their four head-to-heads.

The first ever Premier League battle between the two sides in November 2022 was a seven-goal thriller won by Leeds at Elland Road, with the hosts coming from 3-1 down with half an hour remaining to win 4-3 – Crysencio Summerville netted an 84th-minute winner.

Bournemouth gained revenge over the Whites with a 4-1 success at the Vitality Stadium five months later, followed by pulsating back-to-back 2-2 draws during the 2025-26 season, featuring a 93rd-minute Eli Junior Kroupi equaliser in the encounter at Elland Road before Longstaff got revenge with a 97th-minute Leeds United equaliser in the clash at Vitality.
