A 'lucky' home point against Leeds was the very best we deserved

Virtually a 6-pointer, at home to Leeds United. Yet the way we played, we didn’t deserve anything. In the first half, we had more possession but created virtually nothing, except a shot from Lewis-Potter that their keeper parried. Leeds had a least three good chances, some when we gave the ball away in our own half. We had a penalty awarded towards the end of the half, but Ouattara was deemed to be just offside before he was ‘fouled’ (IMHO it was never a pen). In the second half, it was all Leeds, and they should have scored at least once. Then we went ahead in the 70th minute after a good through ball found Henry and the ball came back to Henderson who scored. Again, Leeds came forward and we really had little attacking ideas with Thiago a virtual passenger all game. We failed to pick up players on the edge of our box and in the 82nd minute a good cross found an almost unmarked Calvert-Lewin, who rose to head past Kelleher for their equaliser. Leeds still pushed forward trying to get the winner. In the 90+3 minute we did have another opportunity when Ouattara shot well over the bar.
