Leeds 0 – 0 Brentford

Leeds were held to a 0-0 draw by a resilient Brentford in a raucous clash at Elland Road as neither side could get in on their contrasting Premier League bids.

Jesse Marsch’s Leeds side will be hoping to put some distance between themselves and the bottom three, while the Wasps missed the chance to break into the league’s coveted top six.

The stalemate will suit Brentford better as they have now reached the 30-point mark in record time (the fastest in top-flight history), while Leeds continue to sit above the relegation zone – one point ahead of Bournemouth in 18th.

Bees goalkeeper David Raya was tested by Rodrigo on several occasions and he also denied Wilfried Gnonto and Brenden Aaronson – with Leeds making five attempts on target to the visitors’ nil – but Brentford’s back line held firm.
