Player Ratings: Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Leeds
•
For the second time in four days, Selhurst Park witnessed a frustrating goalless draw as Palace failed to capitalize on a man advantage against a resilient Leeds United. In a chaotic end to the first half, Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty for the visitors before Gabriel Gudmundsson was sent off, but despite playing 45 minutes against ten men, the Eagles couldn't find the breakthrough. We're dissecting a performance that Oliver Glasner labeled "nervous," as the gap to the top half remains frustratingly out of reach.
