Stuart Dallas rues missed chances but left pleased by Leeds United's fight in Arsenal stalemate

Stuart Dallas was left to rue Leeds United's missed chances against Arsenal following a battling 0-0 draw at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Marcelo Bielsa's side put in a dominant display in LS11, but were unable to convert a number of chances into three points.

The Gunners - who were second best for much of the first half - saw Nicolas Pepe sent off in the second period after VAR picked up a headbutt on United's Gjanni Alioski.

Referee Anthony Taylor consulted the on-pitch screen, before giving the winger his marching orders following the altercation which happened off the ball.

Dallas, who was making his 200th appearance for the Whites, missed a good chance before the break with Gunners stopper Bernd Leno then denying the Northern Irishman after the interval with a brilliant one-handed save.

United's number nine Patrick Bamford struck the woodwork with a header whilst substitute Rodrigo twice saw efforts rebound off the goal frame as Leeds cranked up the pressure.

Debutant Raphinha also struck the outside of Leno's post with a strike from inside the visiting box with the Arsenal goal leading a charmed life.

Bielsa's team, though, were forced to settle for what became a frustrating draw, but with the point stopped the rot in the Premier League following back-to-back defeats before the international break.

"I think we certainly created enough chances and did enough to win it," Dallas reflected post-match.

"The sending off definitely changed the game - we had a lot of possession in the second half, they were camped in.

"If you can't win the game then you have to make sure you don't lose it. They were dangerous a few times on the counter-attack.

"It's something we have worked really hard on over the break and since most of us came back during the week. We'll take a point now and move on.

Dallas added: "They camped in and got a good shape [after the red card], they made it difficult. They forced us to play through them and we did create chances.

"You have to give them credit as well. Losing a man is never easy and they dug in and I'm sure they will be happy with a point."

Asked if he should've done better with his own chances against Mikel Arteta's men, he added: "Probably, yeah.

"Looking back on it there was time to take a touch [in the first half]. These things happen so quickly and I suppose that's the bit of quality you need. It's part of my game I am working on.

"In the second half the goalkeeper has pulled off a great save and it is just unfortunate that it didn't manage to go in.

"We'll move forward now to next week. We're disappointed we didn't win."
