Kevin Schade stunner, Calvert-Lewin reply: Leeds United 1-1 Brentford at Elland Road
Kevin Schade curled Brentford ahead just before half-time. Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled with 11 minutes left — his fourth goal in four Premier League games — and both sides moved on to 4 points.
Leeds were second best for 45 minutes and knew it. Brentford bossed the first half, ran up the shot count and led it through a Kevin Schade finish on 41 that flew into the top corner off Keane Lewis-Potter's cross.
Daniel Farke changed it at the break, Leeds pushed Brentford back, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin steered in the equaliser on 79. It is his fourth goal in four Premier League matches. A point apiece, and both clubs up to 4.
Brentford had the shots, not the finish
Brentford piled up 22 attempts to Leeds's 12 but only five were on target, and the expected-goals line stayed tight: 1.56 to 1.43. Four Brentford yellow cards tell you how the second half went once Leeds got on top.
