Daniel Farke’s Whites were seeking a first win of the new campaign following last weekend’s 3-3 draw at home to divisional newcomers Portsmouth and Wednesday night’s 3-0 defeat at home to Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup first round.
A very poor first-half passed without a shot on target from either side but the action improved after the break as both the Whites and Baggies squandered chances to take all three points, albeit not exactly a feast of attacking football.
The contest, though, ultimately ended in a goalless draw, leaving Leeds on two points out of a possible six from the start of the new 2024-25 Championship campaign.
Leeds United writer Lee Sobot hands out the scores from The Hawthorns.
13. Joe Rothwell
6 - Came on more or less in the no 10 role and did not begin well, twice losing the ball, firstly which allowed the Baggies to break dangerously. Got a bit better after that but without adding the spark needed and quite clearly missing in the absence of Rutter. Photo: George Wood
14. Patrick Bamford (sub)
5 - On for the final ten minutes but nothing came off for him and wasted a fine opening with his weak cross/shot back to keeper Palmer in stoppage time. Photo: Nigel French
15. Sam Allison (referee)
6 - Not amazing but not terrible and basically just in keeping with a run of the mill game. Photo: Michael Regan
