Leeds United and Crystal Palace play to a scoreless draw
Leeds United and Crystal Palace played to a 0-0 draw at Elland Road in their fifth Premier League fixture of the 2026/27 season. The result allows Leeds to maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Despite the goalless scoreline, both sides had significant opportunities. Crystal Palace saw a potential winning goal by Tyrick Mitchell ruled out by VAR after it was determined that Anan Khalaili was offside. Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a key chance by firing a shot directly at Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez.
Defensively, Leeds' Tarik Muharemovic was noted for several crucial interventions, including a late recovery tackle to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen. For Crystal Palace, manager Pierre Sage saw a disciplined performance that improved upon their earlier league struggles, though they were unable to convert their counter-attacking chances into goals.
