Scores equalizer Kristensen scored from his only shot and made two interceptions, five clearances and one block in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

Impact Kristensen scored his third of the season when his shot deflected off Kieren Trippier and past the keeper to put the game level. The defender has started five of the last six and could be vital for the last few games as Leeds battle to stay in the Premier League.

Gabriel Jesus ends drought as Arsenal beats Leeds 4-1 in EPL

Gabriel Jesus has ended a six-month scoring drought by netting twice as Premier League leader Arsenal beat Leeds 4-1 to maintain some breathing space atop the standings

Scores goal against Arsenal Kristensen took three shots (two on target) and scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Arsenal. He also made a block, two interceptions and created a chance in the match.

Impact Kristensen scored his second goal in as many games on either side of the international break on Saturday, but this one was no more than a consolation and it only beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale due to a deflection off Oleksandr Zinchenko. Kristensen lined up in midfield for this match, what was his first Premier League start -- and just his third appearance overall in the competition -- since the turn of the calendar year.

Scores off bench Kristensen scored one goal on one shot, won both of his attempted tackles and made two clearances in Saturday's 4-2 win at Wolves.

Impact Kristensen scored his first goal of the season Saturday, as his 62nd minute unassisted strike from near the endline beat Jose Sa. He was subbed onto the pitch in the 61st minute, so he scored on basically his first touch of the game to give his team a 3-0 lead. He also played well defensively in his 29 minutes of action as he won both of his attempted tackles and made two clearances.

Goes unused in draw Kristensen was an unused sub in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Kristensen has now been on the bench in four consecutive matches with the last three not recording even a single minute on the pitch. The arrival of Maximilian Wober would likely bury the former down the depth chart even more.

Busy defensively Kristensen generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Kristensen was pinned back throughout Wednesday's match, unable to get forward behind waves of City attacks. The right-back has been a consistent starter and offers upside going forward, though he has just a single assist in 13 starts. Kristensen and Leeds have also struggled to keep clean sheets limiting his upside defensively.

Three crosses in draw Kristensen sent in three crosses and made one interception during Tuesday's scoreless draw with Tunisia. He was also shown yellow once.

Impact Kristensen was deployed further up the pitch than he is typically utilized in Leeds - something which bodes well for his potential World Cup fantasy output. He was second on a rather timid Danish squad in crosses for the afternoon, but he'll need to be careful not to receive another booking within group play.

Assists in defeat Kristensen assisted once to go with one shot (zero on target), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Kristensen nodded a well-placed assist to Rodrigo to help pull his Leeds side ahead 2-1 shortly before half time. It was the wing back's first assist of the league season. Kristensen will hope the goal contribution is a sign of things to come and should be a key piece along the back line for Denmark's upcoming World Cup run.

Strong defensive performance in win Kristensen made three clearances, five tackles and three clearances in Leeds 4-3 triumph over Bournemouth on Saturday. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Kristensen put in a bright performance on Saturday. He made important defensive interventions in his core role as right-back, but also showed he can be dangerous in attack and pushing forward. He made effective plays in midfield putting his fingerprints on two of Leeds' four goals. He also created eight crosses (one accurate) and fired a shot that went off-target. From 11 appearances (all starts) he has contributed to one clean sheet.

Playing over break Kristensen (undisclosed) started and went 91 minutes in Sunday's match for Denmark.

Impact Kristensen suffered a knock before the break, but he's clearly healthy and fit enough to go a full 90 against France. The bigger question for him going forward will be his role, as Luke Ayling is healthy again and those two could compete for minutes at right-back. Given the busy schedule, there's a chance they swap starts throughout October.

Signs with Leeds United Kristensen has signed a five-year deal with Leeds United away from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Kristensen will immediately bolster what had been an injury-depleted Leeds back line last season. While he played mostly at right-back for Salzburg, it's a wonder if he'll fight with Luke Ayling for time or if one of them will move to left-back, depending on the formation used under Jesse Marsch. Playing in Champions League the last couple years, Kristensen was always nears the top of the charts in terms of tackles won.
