Leeds United vs. Bournemouth: Head-to-head record and past meetings after dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw

Daniel Farke's Leeds United were frustratingly held to a 2-2 draw at Elland Road by Bournemouth in Saturday's Premier League clash, though they will take heart from their performance.

It was the Cherries who took the lead through a clever Antoine Semenyo free kick, as the forward struck a low effort underneath the Whites' wall to open the scoring.

However, they remained behind for only 11 minutes thanks to a header from Joe Rodon direct from a Sean Longstaff corner, but Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic should have done better given that he got his hands to the ball.

In any case, Leeds continued to pile on the pressure, and eventually edged in front through an excellent half-volley from Longstaff, his first goal for the club.

The hosts put in a performance that was deserving of all three points, but they were denied the victory when Eli Junior Kroupi produced a neat finish in stoppage time to rescue something for Andoni Iraola's side.

The stalemate left both managers disappointed, but Leeds are currently 11th in the table - five points clear of the relegation zone - while Bournemouth are third, one point above Manchester City and four behind leaders Liverpool.

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

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 16

Leeds United wins: 11

Draws: 3

Bournemouth wins: 2

Leeds United and Bournemouth - formerly known as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic - first locked horns just before the outbreak of the Second World War, a January 1939 FA Cup clash which the Whites won 3-1 at Elland Road.

That success marked the beginning of an unprecedented sequence for the Yorkshire side, who have almost always had Bournemouth's number down the years, triumphing in 11 of their 16 battles while only suffering two losses.

Eight of those contests have taken place at Elland Road, where Leeds have remarkably remained unbeaten against their South Coast counterparts - claiming eight victories and one draw - and winning seven of their last eight league meetings at the stadium.

Ahead of their showdown in September 2025, Leeds had never faced another side more times in the league at home while winning every game, although they needed a late Crysencio Summerville strike to propel them to an enthralling 4-3 victory in November 2022.

However, while the Peacocks came from behind to lead 2-1 in their first 2025-26 meeting thanks to an excellent display from Sean Longstaff, who netted a memorable half-volley early in the second half, Daniel Farke's side conceded a stoppage-time equaliser that broke their winning streak.

The Cherries' first success against the Whites was a 4-1 thrashing in the 2013-14 Championship campaign, as Lewis Grabban and Yann Kermorgant both netted braces, and their second was coincidentally by the same scoreline in 2022-23, when they eased past their opponents 4-1 at the Vitality Stadium.

Leeds did the double over Bournemouth in the 2014-15 Championship and 2007-08 League One seasons, though, as well as going unbeaten in six Second Division matches between 1987 and 1990.
