🔮 There was little in terms of quality on show from either side in a full-blooded derby clash, but Carrick will have no complaints about his players’ application as they matched Leeds’ intensity to earn a deserved point.
🔮 But Palace turned in one of their best displays of the season and will consider themselves unlucky to have secured only one point after creating the better chances.

Narrative

Read More James Trafford was the first goalkeeper forced into a save when diving low to hold Daichi Kamada’s shot and with Leeds struggling to find an end product, Pierre Sage will have been the happier of the two managers at half-time. Trafford was at full stretch low down to brilliantly turn away Yeremy Pino’s free-kick soon after the restart and Kamada’s shot flew narrowly wide.
