Leeds have not lost when Luke Ayling scores since the opening day of the 2021-22 seasonFormer Leeds United backroom staff man Carlos Corberan had to settle for a draw on his return to Elland Road with West Bromwich Albion.
Corberan's Baggies looked set to steal all three points with Brandon Thomas-Asante's controversial 52nd-minute opener.
Jayson Molumby's shot clearly deflected off Thomas-Asante's arm - and, with no video assistant referee (VAR) facility in the English Football League, the goal stood.
But, despite the heroics of visiting keeper Alex Palmer, Leeds skipper Luke Ayling levelled.
He powered a 73nd-minute header into the top right corner to earn the hosts a point - and deservedly secure a second successive home draw for Daniel Farke's relegated Leeds following their first-day 2-2 draw with Cardiff City.
