Ex-Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo has joined Cardiff on a season-long loan from French club TroyesLeeds United made a dramatic return to the Championship - and start to manager Daniel Farke's reign - as Crysencio Summerville's added-time equaliser capped their fightback from two goals down to draw with Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds, also under the guidance of a new boss in Erol Bulut, had to withstand heavy Leeds pressure but clinical counter-attacking goals by debutants Josh Bowler and Ike Ugbo had given the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead.
A towering header by Leeds captain Liam Cooper early in the second half fuelled a resurgence from the dominant hosts, who missed several chances.
Just as it looked like Cardiff would cling on for a memorable victory, Summerville finished superbly five minutes into time added on to spark jubilant celebrations at Elland Road.
