​Brentford and Leeds play out stalemate

Leeds United's chances at gaining automatic promotion to the Premier League were dealt a blow against Brentford.

The second placed outfit were away from home against fellow promotion battlers.

Brentford took the lead in the game through talented winger Said Benrahma.

But Leeds managed to find their way back in the game through Liam Cooper a little later in the half.

The away side were dominant for much of the second period, having more possession and shots on goal.

But they were unable to turn that dominance into all three points.

The result leaves Leeds still second on 56 points, but Fulham are a point behind with a game in hand.

Brentford remain fourth and in the play-off places.

West Brom now have a three point lead and a game in hand at the very top of the Championship.
