Leeds salvaged a late draw away to Preston after toiling for the majority of the match. Brad Potts’ opening goal was cancelled out by a Jack Whatmough own goal in the closing stages as the Lilywhites’ defender, under pressure from substitute Mateo Joseph, turned Dan James’ low cross into his own net.
United were far from their best on the road as has been the case in a number of away matches this season, but crucially did not leave empty-handed.
Here are the ratings.

7. Joe Rothwell: 6/10
Couldn't find a way through Preston. Hit and miss with set-piece deliveries. It was his loss of possession from which Preston went up the other end and scored. | Getty Images
8. Brenden Aaronson: 4/10
Missed a sitter in the first half and didn't create much of note. Another physical game that saw him struggle. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
9. Willy Gnonto: 6/10
Didn't do enough damage or make himself enough of a factor. Went past players a number of times but there was no end product. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
10. Dan James: 8/10
Leeds' best attacking threat. Hit the bar, provided dangerous crosses and got at the defence. Worked back the other way too. Came up with the assist for the goal. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
11. Joel Piroe: 4/10
Snatched at a good shooting chance and didn't do anywhere near enough to make himself a threat. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
12. Largie Ramazani (sub): 7/10
Drove at Preston and created some danger from distance. Worked hard to try and win it. | Getty Images
