Harrison and Dallas combine brilliantly but Costa can’t reach the cross.

Kiko down after getting caught by his own man collecting a cross. Means we’ll run a bit longer.

Bielsa gives Bilic a cuddle.
Leeds the better team.

FT 1 - 1
Decent point I guess but better side over the 90 especially after HT when Bamford came on.
Kiko made a great save just before HT would have been a long way back from there.
On reflection happy with the point and performance.
Harrison was exceptional tonight.

Kiko actually had a decent game after minute 2. Made 3 really good saves

Very very good point

Showed great mental strength and fortitude to fightback after conceding that early goal.

Defended very well as we have done most of the season and Kiko was very good.

An excellent second half performance against a quality team in their own backyard.

Well done Leeds.

Deserved to win, but a point keeps us top.

Get Pablo, Forshaw and Roberts back and another striker in January in case Bamford gets crocked and we'll win this division handily.

Good performnce today - apart from the chaotic start

A decent point at the end of the day, a fairly even game and important for us to take something from a match where we went behind.

Good draw...I'll take that. At home Brom should have taken the game to us and looked the better team but they didn't. Brom were more scared of us than we were of them.

Happy with that, that's 4 points off them.
We bossed the second half for the most part.

Thought we played well, best team bar 90 seconds. Good point but we could have won it. Still top, 9 points clear of third.

Kiko was excellent. Klich back. Harrison and Costa excellent. Bamford and Douglas made a difference.

Away from home against the second best team in the league, you’d be happy with a point from that. Bamford showed his worth to this team in the second half and I hope that puts the bed the people calling him poor.
Shame Eddie couldn’t get into the game, I hope that’s not the last we’ve seen of him in a Leeds shirt, you would think we will hear either way later today or tomorrow

I thought Harrison was excellent and Klich was much better than of late.
If only Bamford had of squared that ball to him near the end.

After panning Bielsa for his subs against Cardiff I am looking forward to Whelan lauding Bielsa for turning the game around with his subs today.
