Leeds United were unable to claim all three points but extended their unbeaten run to seven games following Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United. Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring with a brilliant finish on 62 minutes before a lapse in concentration allowed Matheus Cunha to equalise almost instantly after.
The Whites struggled to gain early momentum like in recent weeks with their visitors settling into the occasion and chances hard to come by through the opening half-hour. Calvert-Lewin then came painfully close when his glancing header of Anton Stach’s cross struck the far post while Lucas Perri was forced into a good reflex save from Leny Yoro’s flick on.
It took another 15 minutes after half-time for a real chance to arrive but when it did, Aaronson latched onto a long loose ball to finish brilliantly beyond Senne Lammens. But the away side levelled instantly through Cunha, who got in behind Pascal Struijk and Sebastiaan Bornauw to score what proved to be a crucial equaliser.

6 - Hesitant for the goal and it cost him. Kicking was a problem again. | Getty Images
2. RWB: James Justin
7 - Defended well, though came under a bit more pressure than at Anfield in the second half. In possession wasn't always accurate but got forward. Played with physicality. | Getty Images
3. CB: Sebastiaan Bornauw
7 - Steady for the most part, did well in the air. Couldn't get there to block the shot for Cunha's goal. | AFP via Getty Images
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
8 - Lots and lots of important defensive moments. Physical without going over the top with it. First half in particular he was Leeds' best player. | Getty Images
5. CB: Pascal Struijk
8 - Got an unusual assist. Looked dominant in moments. Finished really strongly. | AFP via Getty Images
6. LWB: Gabriel Gudmundsson
7 - Showed a couple of glimpses of his dribbling ability going forward. Not completely dominant defensively. | Getty Images
