Brentford pick up point in turgid stalemate at Leeds

Leeds 0

Brentford 0

Brentford picked up a point in an uneventful game at Elland Road, where both sides struggled to create chances.

Mikkel Damsgaard was unable to shake off an injury in time to play – and his guile was certainly missed by the Bees.

But they defended well against a determined Leeds team, especially when under pressure late on, and are still very much in the running for a European place.

Keith Andrews’ side are seventh in the Premier League table going into the international break, three points behind fifth-placed Liverpool and five behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

Brentford’s next two league games, against Everton on 11 April and Fulham seven days later, are both at home.

Brentford: Kelleher, Kayode, Collins, Pinnock, van den Berg, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Thiago, Schade (Ouattara 77).
Subs not used: Valdimarsson, Nelson, Donovan, Furo, Bentt, Shield, Stephenson, McManus.
