LEEDS, England: Joe Gerhardt came off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner for Leeds United as they snatched a thrilling 2-1 home victory over fellow strugglers Norwich City in a pulsating Premier League clash on Sunday.
Leeds took the lead in the 14th minute when a long ball was headed clear by Norwich defender Ozan Kabak to Dan James, who chested it into the path of Rodrigo, and he fired a deflected shot in at the far post.
The home side wasted chance after chance before Norwich’s Kenny McLean scored in the 91st minute but Gerhardt had the last laugh, slamming the ball home from close range to send the crowd into raptures and snap his team’s eight-game streak without a league win.
A seventh straight league defeat for Norwich left them rooted to the bottom of the table on 17 points after 29 games, while Leeds are 16th on 26 points, four above 18th-placed Watford.
