A goalless draw at Elland Road tonight — Leeds and Newcastle shared the spoils in a tense but low-quality affair. Both sides struggled to create clear chances, with Leeds managing just one shot on target, a late effort from Dominic Calvert-Lewin that was denied by Nick Pope’s studs.

Newcastle, missing key attackers Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, lacked bite up front despite dominating possession (57%). New signing Nick Woltemade watched from the stands, and his absence was felt as the Magpies failed to convert their control into goals1.

Leeds, meanwhile, remain unbeaten at home this season, but their attacking play fizzled out repeatedly in the final third. It’s a result that leaves both teams still searching for rhythm early in the campaign.
