Premier League | Leeds United 0-0 Brentford | Struggling Leeds draw with Brentford
2023-01-23 11:52Leeds United and Brentford drew 0-0 in the Premier League at Elland Road , leaving the hosts a point above the relegation zone after a frustrating afternoon.
The disappointing result extended Leeds' league winless run to six games and moved them to 15th in the table, just one point above third-bottom Bournemouth.
" Points are crucial for us at the moment, " Leeds striker Jack Harrison said. " We wanted to win as many as possible and we wanted to win, but we got the point, moved on and got ready for the next game. "
Neither side could control the game in the first half when Leeds had more possession and better attempts but no luck in front of goal.
Max Webber, who signed from Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month, had the chance to impress on his debut for Leeds United with a free-kick from outside the box, but he didn't 14 minutes shot over the bar.
Brentford's best chance of the first half came on the 37th hole when Rico Henry found himself in space on the left side of the penalty area, but instead of taking a shot he tried to pass forward Ivan Toney but was caught Robin Koch blocks .
Leeds struggled to play more attacking intent after the break, with Brendon Aaronson , Rodrygo, Harrison and Wilfried Genunto all forcing goalkeeper David Raya on.
second half
Brentford occasionally threatened to fight back against the hosts, but ended the game with a shot that was not on target.
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford looked alive after coming on late in the second half, but the hosts failed to find the winner.
Despite the desperate need for a goal, Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has opted not to bring in French forward Georges Nholot, who was signed from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim earlier this month for a club-record fee.
The draw extended Brentford's unbeaten run in the league to eight games and leaves them in eighth place with 30 points from 20 games , although ninth-placed Liverpool have a game in hand.
