It's stalemate between Leeds and Brentford at Elland Road. The Whites will be disappointed not to have found a breakthrough goal. They were on top for most of the game, especially in the second half, but lacked that killer finish. The Bees proved hard to beat though, and you can't begrudge them the draw.
