Lee Sobot's Leeds United player ratings v Crystal Palace as star pair score 8/10, few 7s but strugglers get 5s

Leeds United player ratings vs Crystal Palace.

Leeds United’s final game before the extended international break at home to Crystal Palace ended in a goalless draw - but how did we rate the performances?

Both sides had half chances in a fairly open and even but goalless first half, Ao Tanaka blasting over with a half volley at the far post from a flicked on Ethan Ampadu long throw and Nico Elvedi’s shot on the turn saved from a corner.

Palace then enjoyed a particularly threatening spell after the break, James Trafford producing a fine save to keep out a Yeremy Pino free kick and the Eagles looked to have gone ahead through Tyrick Mitchell yet Anan Khalaili was judged offside in the build up.

But Leeds also had chances to take all three points, Dominic Calvert-Lewin unable to take the best of them as he fired straight at keeper Walter Benitez from a James Justin cross.
