Leeds manager Daniel Farke was pleased with a battling point as his side held on for a draw at Crystal Palace despite having 10 men for 45 minutes.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty for United, and they then had left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson sent off in first-half stoppage time.
The defender was shown a second yellow card by referee Thomas Bramall, who appeared to have forgotten he had already been booked.
After a delay, Gudmundsson was shown a second card and Leeds went down to 10 men.
But despite that, Leeds held on for what could be a valuable point in the fight against the drop.
“I have to give lots of praise to my players,” Farke said.
“It is another day that shows why I’d trust my boys with my life. We had to accept in the second half the underload after some strange decisions.
“It was a rare occasion where the team with the underload had more xG. Even in the second half we were close to score a goal. I am just proud of the performance.
“Before the game I told the lads we have traveled here to win the game. I am pretty sure we should have been in the lead at half time, and if we had 11 players we would have won the game.
“We are edging closer to what we want to achieve.”
Despite Farke’s praise, Leeds have failed to score in their last three games in the Premier League, a run of 378 minutes without a goal.
They are three points above the bottom three and have gone five games without a win.
