Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Elland Road. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Leeds United FC and Crystal Palace FC.
- 3' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jack Harrison makes it 1-0.
- 8' Crystal Palace FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 13' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andros Townsend is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Crystal Palace FC.
- 18' Michy Batshuayi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 23' Leeds United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Crystal Palace FC's shape.
- 28' Raphinha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 14 goals this season.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kalvin Phillips suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gary Cahill on 37.
- 42' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 46' A change in the Crystal Palace FC ranks — Patrick van Aanholt exits the field as Andros Townsend enters on 46.
- 51' Leeds United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 52' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Patrick Bamford makes it 2-0.
- 57' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 62' Jean-Philippe Mateta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 65' Another change for Crystal Palace FC made on 65 minute. Jean-Philippe Mateta leaves to be changed by Michy Batshuayi.
- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 76' Crystal Palace FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 76.
- 76' The crowd applauds Jordan Ayew as he leaves the pitch. Christian Benteke steps in for Crystal Palace FC.
- 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eberechi Eze made 388 appearances and scored 64 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 86' Crystal Palace FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 86.
- 88' Jamie Shackleton gets the nod from Leeds United FC. He replaces Kalvin Phillips and will look to change the dynamic.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
