Leeds rallies for draw as Marsch gets 1st taste of FA Cup

LONDON (AP) — Jesse Marsch had quite the ride in his first match in the FA Cup. The American coach saw his Leeds team rally from 2-0 down against second-tier Cardiff to draw 2-2 thanks to an equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time by substitute Sonny Perkins in the third round. Rodrigo began Leeds’ recovery by pulling a goal back in the 65th before the Spain striker had a penalty saved in the 81st. The 18-year-old Perkins came to Rodrigo’s rescue with a close-range goal to send the teams to a replay. Manchester City hosts Chelsea in a meeting of Premier League giants later.
