Give us your Leeds United player ratings as points shared at Elland Road in Leicester draw

Leeds United were left to rue their missed chances as they were forced to share points with relegation rivals Leicester City following their 1-1 draw at Elland Road.

The Whites were spared some early blushes when Youri Tielemans' wonder goal was ruled out by VAR after just seven minutes due to Boubakary Soumaré being stood in an offside position from the previous corner.

It was then their turn to put the ball in the back of the net - only this time it counted. Jack Harrison's cross was met by a leaping Luis Sinisterra at the back post, who nodded the ball past Daniel Iverson to give Leeds the lead.

Both sides had big chances in the second half, with Rodrigo not being able to find the right timing on a chance in the Foxes' penalty area.

Despite some massive saves from Illan Meslier though, the Whites' defence would eventually be broken. With 10 minutes to go, James Maddison slotted the ball through and Jamie Vardy calmly slotted it underneath the Leeds shot-stopper for the equaliser.

However, Leeds would have two more opportunities come their way to take all three points. First, a Marc Roca header which hit Iverson in the face, bounced off the line before nearly being put into the Leicester net by Foxes defender Kristiansen who ended up clearing it out for another corner.

From that came the second chance, a two-yard open-goal miss this time from Patrick Bamford meant fans couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The full-time whistle eventually came, with both teams getting a point further away from the relegation zone, as well as a point closer to survival.
