Leeds and Brentford Play Out 0-0 That Stalls Survival Push and European Charge

The draw leaves Leeds four points above the relegation zone after a fourth straight league match without a goal.

Overview

  • Leeds missed the chance to open a six-point cushion over the drop and instead sit four clear with rivals playing on Sunday.
  • Brentford remain seventh on 46 points, three behind fifth-place Liverpool, after taking a point at Elland Road.
  • Leeds’ winless Premier League run extended to six matches as their scoring drought reached four in a row.
  • Chances were scarce, with a reported combined expected-goals figure around 1.00 and fewer than 20 total shots.
  • Referee Jarred Gillett rejected home penalty appeals after the ball struck Brentford captain Nathan Collins’ arm, on a night that began with tributes to Leeds supporters Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight.
