Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was AFC Bournemouth 2-2 Leeds United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Sean Longstaff 90+7', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: AFC Bournemouth led Shots on target 7-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. AFC Bournemouth also shaded Corners 12-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made AFC Bournemouth the favourite at 53.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
