Leeds miss chance to move third after Palace draw | OneFootball

Leeds United missed the chance to move up to third in the Premier League as they were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace at Elland Road.

The first half produced few clear chances, with both sides struggling to find a way through. Palace goalkeeper Walter Benítez denied Nico Elvedi from a corner, while James Trafford dealt comfortably with efforts from Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada.

Palace started the second half brightly, with Trafford producing an excellent save to keep out Yéremy Pino’s clever free-kick. The visitors then thought they had taken the lead through Tyrick Mitchell, but the goal was ruled out for offside.

Leeds responded, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin coming closest to breaking the deadlock, only for Benítez to make an outstanding save from close range.

Both sides pushed for a late winner, but neither could find the breakthrough. Leeds remain unbeaten after five league games, with two wins and three draws, while Palace stay near the relegation zone with four points recorded.
