Leeds United's Premier League campaign has been undermined by conceding a league-high 12 goals from the 86th minute onwards, with manager Daniel Farke's side dropping nine points at the death. The latest blow came when Tammy Abraham's 88th-minute equaliser earned Aston Villa a 1-1 draw at Villa Park.

If matches ended after 85 minutes, Leeds would sit seventh and challenge for Europe, but instead they languish 15th, just six points above the relegation zone. The pattern includes Newcastle's 4-3 comeback win at St James' Park, where two goals in added time turned a 3-2 Leeds lead into defeat. Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson suggests concentration lapses, rather than fitness, are to blame.

Despite the late-goal curse, Leeds have shown resilience with only two defeats in their last 14 games since switching to a 3-5-2 formation. They've also benefited from stoppage-time heroics, including Ao Tanaka's 96th-minute equaliser against Liverpool. Farke's side must address their late-game fragility if they hope to secure Premier League survival and avoid what-ifs about a potentially stronger season.
