Huddersfield Town 1-1 Leeds United: Patrick Bamford equaliser salvages Yorkshire derby draw for Daniel Farke's Whites

  /  autty

Leeds missed the chance to crank up the pressure on leaders Leicester as they were held to a 1-1 Yorkshire derby draw at Huddersfield.

The result brought to an end a run of nine straight league wins for Daniel Farke's men on the day a 10th would have set a new club record.

Michal Helik came off the bench - following an early injury to Yuta Nakayama - to poke the Terriers in front after Illan Meslier had clawed his initial header away.

Less than five minutes later - in first-half stoppage time - the Terriers' joy turned to disbelief when captain Jonathan Hogg was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Leeds were far from their clinical best at the John Smith's Stadium, with just two shots on target all game, but with the second of those, they earned a point when Patrick Bamford connected with a low cross from Connor Roberts.
