Leeds Hold Palace to 0-0 With 10 Men After Referee Mix-Up and Missed Penalty

Farke frames the draw as proof of resilience in a relegation fight.

Overview

  • Gabriel Gudmundsson was sent off for a second yellow in first-half stoppage time after referee Thomas Bramall initially appeared to forget his earlier booking.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a first-half penalty that would have given Leeds the lead at Selhurst Park.
  • Down to 10 men, Leeds conceded no shots on target, which the BBC says is the only recorded instance since 2003-04 after a first-half dismissal.
  • Daniel Farke called the sending-off the wrong decision and said he would trust his players with his life.
  • The point keeps Leeds three clear of the relegation zone, with Farke noting his side finished with a higher expected goals than Palace.
