Crystal Palace vs Leeds United
The points are shared after a goalless draw between Crystal Palace and Leeds United. The hosts dominated the game, creating some great chances, but they just couldn't find a way through their opponents. In the second half, Gallagher came close when he rifled an effort just wide of the top corner from the edge of the box before Meslier pulled off a brilliant double save to deny Zaha at his near post.

There are big shouts for a penalty from Palace again, this time for a handball against Cooper. It bounced up when Gallagher tried to take it past him, but the referee waves the claims away.

Schlupp switches it out to Clyne on the right and he cushions it down for Gallagher. It's slightly behind him, but he manages to dig out a shot which he hits straight at Meslier.
