Un tanto de Diego Llorente anuló la exhibición de Philippe Coutinho, que marcó un gol y dio una asistencia, en el empate a tres entre Aston Villa y Leeds United (3-3) en partido de la jornada 24ª de la Premier League. El central español culminó la remontada de los de Marcelo Bielsa, que llegaron a ir 3-1 abajo y terminaron sacando un valiosos punto de Villa Park. Y eso que Coutinho hizo unos 15 minutos maravillosos antes del paso por vestuarios que amenazaron con decantar por completo el partido.
El Leeds, falto de alegrías esta temporada, se adelantó por medio de Dan James, que recibió un pase de Rodrigo Moreno dentro del área y batió a Meslier con un buen disparo cruzado, pero entonces se desató Coutinho.
El brasileño empató, con un remate dentro del área tras control, y después le sirvió el segundo a Jacob Ramsey tras un control orientado buenísimo en el centro del campo y un pase milimétrico entre dos defensas. Ramsey no falló en el mano a mano, como tampoco falló en el 43 para meter el 3-1, con una bomba a la escuadra. Lo tenía en la mano el Villa, pero justo antes del descanso Dan James empujó de cabeza el 3-2 y dio vida a los de Bielsa para la segunda mitad.
Llorente, a media hora para el final, aprovechó una pelota muerta en un córner para rematar a bocajarro y hacer el 3-3. El Villa jugó los últimos cinco minutos con uno menos, por expulsión por doble amarilla de Ezri Konsa, pero el Leeds no pudo consagrar la remontada.
Evitó la segunda derrota consecutiva en la Premier el Leeds y sacó un punto que le permite respirar frente al descenso. Los 'Whites' son décimo quintos, con 23 puntos, cuatro por encima del Everton y cinco más que el Newcastle United, ahora mismo marca la salvación. El colchón respecto al descenso es de seis puntos para los de Bielsa. El Villa de Steven Gerrard se queda undécimo con 27 puntos.
