Jarrod Bowen has hailed Elland Road as “one of the best” stadiums in the Premier League. Leeds United supporters have attracted praise for their raucousness since returning to the top flight in 2020.
Another cauldron-like atmosphere was on show when West Ham United made the trip up the M1. Both sides headed into the clash desperate for a win but were forced to share the spoils after a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Despite taking an early lead, the Whites were pegged back before conceding again early in the second half. Rodrigo equalised with 20 minutes to spare but neither side could snatch a victory.

Playing at home is beneficial to Leeds, with just one win on the road all season. Hammers winger Bowen was complimentary to the Elland Road noise following the 2-2 draw.
“It was a proper fight,” Bowen told West Ham TV. “Two teams (that were) really fighting. It’s always a great fixture, coming up here to Leeds.
“With the atmosphere they create, it’s one of the best for me personally. To play in these games, I want to say it’s good fun, but it’s a constant dog fight for 90 minutes.
“We’re disappointed not to get three points after taking the lead but, if you look at their reaction after going behind, we perhaps expected it. We take the point and go again.”
