West Ham boss Sam Allardyce saw his team for the second game in succession concede a late goal at Upton Park. The Hammers were leading Leeds 2-1 heading into the final minute, but just as they had in their opening-day defeat by Cardiff, they were punished when Adam Clayton grabbed a dramatic equaliser.
"When you are 2-1 up at home you have to take responsibility for seeing the game out," said Hammers chief Allardyce.
"You don't put pressure on yourself and unfortunately we did. We don't do what needs to be done to get the result, we've lacked the professionalism.
"Away from home it's not been a problem, the opposition haven't had a sniff, but here it puts a fear factor in everybody before they turn up at the next home game.
"That fear factor means everyone at the stadium is going to be edgy next time and that makes it very difficult for us to win matches.
"To win two away and then falter at home is a great shame but that anxiety will not go away until we win a game."
Leeds boss Simon Grayson has sympathy with Allardyce.
"It's not easy being the favourites for the division, everybody wants to beat you, we had it in League One," he said.
"You could sense that nervousness creeping in, but you have to deal with it.
"But full credit to my players, we dug deep and a draw was the very least we deserved."
