Crystal Palace vs Leeds

Crystal Palace were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by ten-man Leeds United at Selhurst Park in a match packed with drama but sorely lacking a finishing touch. The chaos unfolded in a frantic five minutes before half-time. Will Hughes inexplicably handled a corner to concede a penalty, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin fired well wide of the post. Moments later, Gabriel Gudmundsson was shown a second yellow for a rash challenge on Ismaila Sarr — with Sarr having to remind referee Thomas Bramall that the defender was already on a booking. Palace thought they had snatched it in the 78th minute when Jefferson Lerma headed in from close range, but the goal was chalked off for Brennan Johnson being offside in the build-up from a short-corner routine. The point edges Palace to 39 points while Leeds move to 32 — a valuable result for Daniel Farke's side in their survival fight, though Gudmundsson's suspension will sting.
