Lee Sobot’s Leeds United ratings as Crystal Palace draw sees Trafford and Muharemovic score eight | OneFootball

Leeds United signed off before the extended international break with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at Elland Road, an open contest short on finishing.

yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk notes that James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic were rated eight, Nico Elvedi seven, while Jayden Bogle, James Justin and Gabi Gudmundsson received six.

Both sides had half chances in a fairly even first half, Ao Tanaka blasting over from an Ethan Ampadu long throw flick, and Elvedi’s effort on the turn saved from a corner.

After the break Palace threatened, Trafford tipping Yeremy Pino’s free-kick wide at full stretch. The visitors briefly thought Tyrick Mitchell had put them ahead, but Anan Khalaili was flagged offside in the build-up.

Leeds could have nicked it when James Justin’s cross found Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who shot straight at Walter Benitez.

Trafford was alert throughout, gathering a deflected Mitchell cross, and Muharemovic produced several vital tackles on Strand Larsen, including a late challenge with Palace breaking clear. Bogle was booked before the interval, while Gudmundsson worked diligently down the flank.
