Leeds United's Struijk-Adams squabble, Marsch's gesture to angry supporters and moments you missed

Great Danes

Denmark international team-mates Philip Billing and Rasmus Kristensen were seen catching up with an embrace in the tunnel before kick-off.

Arguments flare up

Leeds United had made a barnstorming start to the game, but quickly came under sustained pressure from Bournemouth. Time after time, the visitors seemed to cut through down the flanks and create chances with ease.

In the 29th minute, after Kieffer Moore found himself unmarked with the ball at his feet in the six-yard box, Tyler Adams and Pascal Struijk would have words. The former was looking at the latter, who had allowed service to come in from his side on more than one occasion.
