Leeds United vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
All the action from Elland Road
Leeds United and Brentford played out a 0-0 draw in the Premier League at Elland Road on Sunday as the hosts failed to move far from the relegation zone following a frustrating afternoon.
The stalemate, which stretches Leeds’ winless run to six league games, leaves them a point above the drop zone in 15th.
Neither side were able to take control of the game in a scrappy and disjointed first half when Leeds had more possession and better attempts but no luck in front of goal.
Leeds tried hard to play with more attacking intent after the break, Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo, Jack Harrison and Wilfried Gnonto all forcing goalkeeper David Raya into action.
Patrick Bamford looked lively after coming on late in the second half but Leeds failed to find a winner. Brentford occasionally threatened to hit the home side on the counter, but finished the game without a shot on target.
The draw extends Brentford’s unbeaten league run to eight games and leaves them in eighth spot on 30 points from 20 matches, although Liverpool in ninth have a game in hand.

The match with the lowest expected goals tally of any Premier League game this season comes to an end then. It wasn't a classic, but both teams will take the result. That's all for now. Goodbye!

This result lifts Leeds slightly to 15th in the Premier League table. Marsch and his men will view this game as a missed opportunity. They're winless in their last six league matches now. Brentford go eighth, a point above Liverpool. They've extended their unbeaten run to eight games.

It's stalemate between Leeds and Brentford at Elland Road. The Whites will be disappointed not to have found a breakthrough goal. They were on top for most of the game, especially in the second half, but lacked that killer finish. The Bees proved hard to beat though, and you can't begrudge them the draw.

Struijk stays forward from the free-kick and gets on the end of Greenwood's flick-on. Raya makes a simple save, and that's that!
