"I have to give lots of praise to my players. It is another day that shows why I'd trust my boys with my life. We had to accept in the second half the underload after some strange decisions. It was a rare occasion where the team with the underload had more xG. Even in the second half we were close to score a goal. I am just proud of the performance."
"Before the game I told the lads we have travelled here to win the game. I am pretty sure we should have been in the lead at half time, and if we had 11 players we would have won the game. We are edging closer to what we want to achieve."
"Leeds United today are the first team Opta has on record since 2003-04 to not face a single shot on target in a match where they played the second half with 10 men. A real battling performance."
Leeds United secured a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace despite significant adversity. Left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson was sent off in first-half stoppage time after receiving a second yellow card from referee Thomas Bramall, who appeared to have forgotten the initial booking. Playing with 10 men for the entire second half, Leeds mounted a defensive performance that prevented Crystal Palace from scoring. Manager Daniel Farke praised his players' resilience, noting they had higher expected goals than their opponents despite the numerical disadvantage. However, Leeds have now failed to score in their last three Premier League matches, accumulating 378 minutes without a goal. The draw leaves them three points above the relegation zone but extends their winless streak to five games.
