Leeds United vs Newcastle United
Neither Leeds nor Newcastle ended up creating enough to find the lone goal that would represent the winner, with the pair forced to share a point apiece after a goalless draw at Elland Road. A first half of few chances - with only one shot on target thanks to Murphy’s go from outside the area - was repeated in the second frame, with the two teams largely cancelling each other out. Despite finding the target for the first time with 60 seconds to go, it was Farke’s team who edged the expected goals metrics, 0.59 to 0.42, largely thanks to hopeful efforts from distance from Stach. Osula’s blocked strike by Gudmundsson after a quarter-hour was the closest the visitors came to beating the goalkeeper, while Calvert-Lewin should have done better to work Pope following Harrison’s pass with 15 minutes to go. The result leaves Leeds in 10th position ahead of a match against Fulham on September 13, while 15th-placed Newcastle will have to wait until after the international break to try to secure their first win when they take on Wolves. That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Leeds United and Newcastle United! We hope you’ve enjoyed it!

With five minutes to go, Leeds will certainly be the happier of the two sides, as they still have a chance to steal a winner late while seemingly en-route to extending their home unbeaten run. Newcastle haven’t looked at their best today and would have been hoping for a first victory of the season against a newly promoted team, which is still possible, though time is running out.
