Leeds United show survival grit to earn huge Crystal Palace point despite referee controversy
Leeds United secured a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park after a controversial red card against Gabriel Gudmundsson left them with 10 men, while Crystal Palace saw a goal disallowed.
- Leeds United fought to earn a point at Selhurst Park on Sunday, holding Crystal Palace to a 0-0 draw despite Gabriel Gudmundsson's sending off after two first-half yellow cards.
- Referee Thomas Bramall seemed to hesitate before issuing the second yellow, was reminded by Palace players he had already booked Gudmundsson, and gave a debatable second yellow for a minor foul on the halfway line.
- Crystal Palace had a late goal ruled out for offside as Jefferson Lerma's header was disallowed, while Leeds missed a penalty and several headed efforts saved by Walter Benitez.
- The point moves Leeds United to 32 points after keeping Crystal Palace to zero shots on target, while Crystal Palace are now on 39 points, one away from the 40-point safety benchmark.
- Daniel Farke defended the 19-year-old Jaydee Canvot and urged against a social-media backlash, describing the reaction as emotional rather than malicious after his red card celebration.
