Leeds United shared the points with Brentford in a 1-1 Premier League draw at Elland Road on Sunday 30 August 2026. A late Leeds goal cancelled out a moment of brilliance from Brentford's Kevin Schade.
This result leaves Leeds United seventh in the Premier League table with four points from their opening two matches. Their record stands at one win and one draw, with two goals scored and only one conceded for a positive goal difference.
The contest at Elland Road was a tightly fought affair. Brentford's Kevin Schade was the standout performer on the day, creating the game's most memorable moment to put his side ahead. Leeds United, however, showed resilience and fought back to find a key equaliser in the closing stages. The late goal ensured the points were shared, a result that reflected the balance of play.
Following this draw, Leeds sit in seventh place. They are just two points behind the early leaders, Manchester City. The team's form reads a draw and a win from their first two outings. Manager Daniel Farke will likely view the start as solid, especially given the team's defensive record of conceding only once so far.
