Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch said it was “hard to put into words” how his side came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Bournemouth 4-3 at Elland Road on Saturday.
Marsch was staring at a seventh loss in 13 games this season when Leeds fell two goals behind at the start of the second half. But three unanswered goals — from Sam Greenwood, Liam Cooper and Crysencio Summerville — secured a dramatic victory.

“It’s hard to put into words and to describe exactly what happened,” Marsch said. “At half-time we tried to install belief in the team that we could still manage to find the result.
“And I told them after the match that the best part was I could tell by the looks on their faces that I didn’t have to convince them, they believed it.”
Marsch came under pressure when Leeds lost four games in a row last month and were hovering above the relegation zone but a 2-1 win at Liverpool last week and Saturday’s victory moved Leeds up to 12th in the standings.
The victory marked the first time Leeds had won two Premier League games in a row this season and fans celebrated by letting off fireworks outside Elland Road.
