Leeds winless start to the season away from home continued on Sunday lunchtime, as Crystal Palace came from behind to deliver more misery on Jesse Marsch's Leeds. The Whites started brightly, and had already squandered several chances before Pascal Struijk put them head on ten minutes. Brenden Aaronson weaved majestically through a packed penalty area before striking at goal. His effort crashed against the post; fortunately, the rebound landed kindly to the Dutchman, who drilled the ball past Guaita.

Leeds continued to carve out opportunities, only to be thwarted by a lack of quality in the final third. All too common, the hosts equalised with their first real effort on goal. Carthorse Cooper tried a clever turn, immediately losing possession, and had to concede a free kick in a dangerous position, from which Odsonne Édouard levelled halfway through the first half.

Even after conceding, Leeds looked the more dangerous side, and continued to press, yet as the game went on, Patrick Viera's side were gaining confidence, and momentum. The pendulum begun to sway in Palace's favour in the second half, and with fifteen minutes remaining, snatched the winner. Eberechi Eze danced around a couple of defenders as he tried to line up a shot. His opportunity came as Cooper lunged forward towards the former England U21 player, missed, allowing Eze the space to convert, giving Meslier no chance.
