Comments:

League position: 10th Leeds United avoided losing three consecutive home league games for the first time since October 2017. In his 282nd appearance, former Crystal Palace loanee Patrick Bamford scored the 100th goal of his senior club career (38th for the Whites). Kalvin Phillips became the seventh Leeds-born player to make 200 appearances for United and the first since Jonny Howson (225). [c/o Jonny Cooper].

Comments:

League position: 13th Crystal Palace failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since June 2020. Palace had now conceded the opening goal within the first three minutes of each of their last two games in the Premier League (also in the 2-1 win at Newcastle United). The Eagles had now lost 17 and won two of the 19 games in the Premier League since January 2017 without Wilfried Zaha in their team; failed to score in 15. Crystal Palace named only six of a possible nine substitutes.
