With Leeds starting to fall back a little after their frantic opening, Palace found more space in midfield and a little joy in attacking positions. But even allowing for an extra five minutes of stoppage-time after a head injury to Jordan Ayew , the first half ended with the feeling that Palace had been slightly fortunate to get to half-time on level terms.

They’ve suffered more than most with conceding late goals this season, but the last few minutes of the game felt more like weathering a light shower than a storm. Bamford had been withdrawn midway through the half, and what had passed for Leeds’ goal threat seemed to ebb away with him.
