Chris Sutton hammered Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the break
Leeds fans would have felt that they were about to take a crucial lead at Selhurst Park when their main man, Calvert-Lewin, stepped up to take the penalty.
However, the 28-year-old striker didn’t even test the goalkeeper as he shot wide, and the supporters were left pondering what could have been had he converted the spot-kick.
Sutton didn’t mince his words and indicated that, as the in-form striker and Leeds’ main man, he fully expected Calvert-Lewin to bury him with the penalty.
He insisted that it was a horrible miss, and the forward will go on to rue this missed opportunity at some point this season.
This is a good point for the Whites
Farke and Calvert-Lewin will rue the missed penalty as it could have easily meant three vital points on the road. However, a draw is still a brilliant result.
Leeds were up against it in the second half with ten men, and the Palace players looked disappointed at the final whistle when the home crowd jeered them off the pitch.
Nottingham Forest failing to win meant Leeds would finish the gameweek maintaining their three-point lead over West Ham, who are 18th in the table.
If Leeds go on to survive, this will be seen as a vital point during a crucial period of the season for Farke and his Leeds players.
