Abraham Nets 88th-Minute Equaliser to Rescue Point for Aston Villa Against Leeds

The draw keeps Villa third and seven points off Arsenal, underscoring Abraham’s swift impact since his January return.

Overview

  • Coming off the bench, Tammy Abraham diverted Ezri Konsa’s header from a set piece into the net to secure a 1-1 draw at Villa Park.
  • Leeds had led through Anton Stach’s first-half free-kick from nearly 30 yards.
  • Abraham called his return to Villa a dream after rejoining from Besiktas in January in a deal reported at about £18 million.
  • The goal was Abraham’s second since re-signing, following his strike against Newcastle in the FA Cup a week earlier.
  • Reuters noted it was Villa’s 19th point recovered from losing positions this league season, the most of any Premier League team.
