Emery was forced into two first-half changes with Lucas Digne and Ollie Watkins forced off inside half an hour and Leeds should have gone in at least level at the interval. Aaronson played the role of Teun Koopmeiners as Leeds attempted to recreate Weghorst’s strike in Qatar and passed the ball to Rodrigo but, under pressure from Douglas Luiz, the forward could not get a clean shot away.
Tyler Adams shifted the ball wide to Luke Ayling, whose brilliant first-time volleyed cross landed at the back post. Harrison expected to prod the ball home but Martínez had other ideas. Martínez was soon soaking up high-fives from his team-mates and Tyrone Mings, again impressive at centre back, bumped chests with his goalkeeper.
When Marsch found fault with Young in the first half, the experienced Villa defender proceeded to take even longer to take a throw-in on halfway. Marsch’s only change from the team that drew against West Ham in their last league game was to promote Harrison to his starting line-up.
