Heartbreak for 10-man Bluebirds as Leeds' stoppage-time strike ... (WalesOnline)

Cardiff City suffered late heartbreak in their FA Cup third round tie with Leeds United after Sonny Perkins tapped home in injury time to earn a 2-2 draw ...

Alnwick gets a hand on it, but it's too powerful for him and hits the back of the net. Bagan, scrambling, stuck out a left hand to save a certain goal and parry the ball wide of the post. Perkins reacted quickest and nudged it past Alnwick to level the scores. Bagan blocks a cross and it's a corner. Boos from the away fans, massive cheers from the home supporters. Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot and brandished the red card. With just 10 minutes to go, and Cardiff holding a slender one-goal lead, Rodrigo's breakaway led to a shot from Junior Firpo inside the box. Instead, he belted it into the sea of Leeds fans behind the goal. Sang slotted an intelligent ball down the side of the centre-backs and Mark Harris latched on to it, before seeing his own shot saved. Remaining cool under pressure, the Wales international then fed Isaak Davies, who was starting his first game of the season, and the striker's shot struck a Leeds leg before fortuitously dropping into Philogene's path. But, thanks to Tom Sang and others, Cardiff weathered the early storm. Cardiff fans were in euphoria, singing, "We're Cardiff City, we're taking the p***."

A quick set-play taken with Willy Gnonto saw the former chip the ball into the middle where Rodrigo leapt highest, heading home to reduce the deficit. Further changes off the bench came as Mateo Joseph and Sonny Perkins entered, with Leeds still looking for a leveller. Marsch went to his bench just before the hour mark and brought on new signing Max Wober, along with top-scorer Rodrigo and former Cardiff loanee, Cody Drameh. A chipped ball over top from Andy Rinomhota was well controlled by Sheyi Ojo on his chest, before the Cardiff forward fired into the roof of the net to double the advantage. They went in at the break two-goals behind and with work to do. Efforts from Darko Gyabi and Crysencio Summerville came close to opening the scoring, but they were both cleared.

[Robbie Savage tips 'vulnerable' Leeds United and Jesse Marsch for Premier League relegation](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/robbie-savage-tips-vulnernable-leeds-25919335) [Who is Georginio Rutter? Big tackles, gestures to the crowd and composure on the ball. Immediately changed the tone of the attack. Needs to be stronger on the ball when challenges come in. One of the few bright spots of the first half. Didn't always have the control Leeds needed in the middle. Gave possession away, weak in the tackle and abandoned his position too often, exposing the team down the left. Caught out badly for the first goal and didn't bring any reassurance to proceedings. Generally looked a little sloppy on the ball and when he was under pressure from home attackers. Perhaps guilty of ball-watching for the two goals. Passing was not good enough and didn't offer a good enough option down the right flank. Had to come out quicker to meet the pass for the second goal.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch: "The whole first half we were not in sync and not aggressive enough. They have got an abundance of talent to come off the bench.

Training Ground Guru | Adam Underwood: Leeds United's ... (Training Ground Guru)

LEEDS UNITED Academy Manager Adam Underwood tells TGG why so many of the club's players and staff have gone on to prominent senior roles and picks out three ...

“We have made sure that the environment and support we create for our U21s is as close to that of the first team as possible." “That is perhaps unusual for our level, but we feel it supports very well the strategy we have with pathway and opportunity for progression of players. “This is something the owners deserve a lot of credit for," Underwood says. “We weren’t asking him to do two full-time jobs but found a way to make it work that was for the ultimate benefit of the players," Underwood says. This means it's a seamless experience for the U21s when they move up to train and even play alongside Jesse Marsch's first team. “You can never move away from operating with a meritocracy, but what you can do is plan for that opportunity in a long term and strategic sense. “There have been discussions around potential investment in further training facilities for the club and that continues. With recruitment now needing to become more local again, could the fact that the Academy is based at Thorp Arch - almost 20 miles from Leeds city centre - pose a problem? “The argument would be it enhances opportunities for British players because they’re training and playing with better players day in day out. Aside from the staffing and structures, there has also been a big focus on Academy recruitment, with the 16 to 19 age bracket (often termed emerging talent) at the forefront. The tradition continues, with the likes of Charlie Cresswell (who grew up in York) Jamie Shackleton (Wakefield), who are both on loan at Millwall. “There is no question that we have invested hugely in our staffing structure, our processes, our resourcing, to achieve Category One.
