“Ao Tanaka picked up a booking for a foul as the game's physical edge intensified in the second half.”
“Leeds turned to their bench late on, bringing on Eddie Nketiah in search of a breakthrough as the game entered its final stretch still level.”
“Jefferson Lerma was booked in the closing seconds as Palace pushed for a late winner that never arrived, the match petering out at 0-0.”
Leeds United
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace looked the sharper side for large stretches, racking up 45 dangerous attacks to Leeds' 29 and creating the better chances, but wastefulness in front of goal and a resolute James Trafford denied them all three points. Leeds United, sitting top of the table, rode their luck at times but stood firm defensively, matching Palace's intensity in a physical second half that produced four of the match's five yellow cards. Tyrick Mitchell thought he'd won it in the 52nd minute only for the goal to not stand, and from there both sides traded half-chances without ever finding a breakthrough. A share of the spoils keeps Leeds unbeaten at the summit, while Palace will rue missed chances that could have snapped their opponents' momentum.
