Commentary
That's full-time at Elland Road, as Leeds United and Crystal Palace cancel each other out in a goalless, if entertaining, 0–0 draw! After a first half sparse of clear-cut chances, Palace in particular flew out of the blocks in the second period, racking up 0.76 xG with early openings for Pino and Kamada. Both Palace forwards tested Trafford before the Leeds number one was beaten in the most contentious moment of the match; Mitchell followed in to score from a deflected Khalaili cross, only for VAR to catch the wing-back fractionally offside in the build-up and rule the goal out. Undeterred, Pierre Sage's side continued to create chances for Strand Larsen, Pino, Wharton and Kamada late on, but Leeds reasserted themselves in both defence and attack to finish strong and produce 1.36 xG themselves. Opportunities came and went for Calvert-Lewin, who forced the best save of the match from Benitez, but Leeds ultimately failed to find a way through Palace's defence and are kept scoreless for the first time this season. Their unbeaten start continues, however, with the Whites moving up to fifth in the Premier League table, as Palace climb two places to 15th following their first draw and clean sheet of the new campaign.
FULL-TIME: LEEDS UNITED 0–0 CRYSTAL PALACE.

Bahoya bursts clear of Palace's defence after a loose pass is cut out and played forwards by Ampadu, but he's stopped in his tracks by Lerma's challenge, and Colombian will be carded late on.

Daniel Farke throws on Leeds United's newest signing with the clock ticking down, as Eintracht Frankfurt loanee Jean-Matteo Bahoya replaces Gudmundsson down the left edge.
We'll play just three additional minutes at Elland Road, with time running out for both teams to find a potential winner here!
CHANCE!!! Aaronson has his pocket picked by Wharton, who wastes no time in firing a long pass over the top for Nketiah to chase. The striker gets there first and squares to his left with Sarr arriving, but Muharemovic steps in to get a vital touch and sends the ball back into the safety of Trafford!
