Wales attacking midfielder Harry Wilson made his first outing for Leeds United as they were beaten 3-2 by Wrexham in the club’s opening pre-season game.<\/p>\n

Wilson, who joined the Elland Road side on a free transfer in the summer<\/a> after his contract at Fulham ran out, came on for the second half of the game at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.<\/p>\n

Leeds found themselves behind almost immediately when Kieffer Moore put Wrexham in front in the first minute with a left-foot shot.<\/p>\n

Joel Piroe had the chance to level from the spot after Dan James had been brought down by keeper Arthur Okonkwo, but missed with his penalty.<\/p>\n

Piroe made amends for the Premier League side by equalising with a backheel from a Sean Longstaff ball.<\/p>\n

Bailey Cadamarteri ran through on goal and slotted in to put Wrexham back in front before Leeds again levelled when Longstaff scored with a right-footed shot.<\/p>\n

Wilson was introduced by Leeds manager Daniel Farke as part of his changes for a second half in which Sam Smith, who also scored Wrexham’s winner in a pre-season victory against Manchester United, netted late on for the Championship side.<\/p>\n

Leeds went close in added time through Wilson but his shot went over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales attacking midfielder Harry Wilson made his first outing for Leeds United as they were beaten 3-2 by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":711709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-711708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/711709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
