This weekend saw mixed results for Leeds United's four teams across various competitions. Daniel Farke's men fell to a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth, as the handball disallowed Calvert-Lewin's early goal. Ethan Ampadu, the team captain, acknowledged the frustration in defeat, stating that the match didn't feel like a 2-0 game. Elsewhere, the club's Under-21s drew 2-2 with Stoke City in the Premier League Cup group stages.
Manager Scott Gardner expressed disappointment, noting that the team lacked determination to secure a win. The Under-18s suffered a late defeat to Derby County, with a goal from Sam Alker early in the match, only to be equalised and eventually overturned in stoppage time. On Sunday, Leeds United Women secured a 2-0 victory over Rotherham United Women in the FA Cup, advancing to the Second Round with goals from Ava Spencer-Smith and Shauna Legge.
The team's manager, Simon Wood, praised the team's resilience and determination in securing the win.
