Leeds United were probably lucky to get a point from Saturday’s match with Middlesbrough after equalising in the tenth minute of stoppage time for a 1-1 draw.

The outcome of the match could, however, have been much better had the Whites taken all their chances on offer in the second-half.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men dominated possession at the Riverside Stadium and had a number of clear chances to find the back of net before Kalvin Phillips rescued a point deep into added time.

The home-side looked the more threatening of the two teams in the first 45 minutes but after the interval Leeds had more direction which gave them more opportunities to score.

But, poor finishing let the team down and cost them what would’ve been a valuable win at the end of the day.

Manager Marcelo Bielsa made quite a bit change in selection from the team that suffered a heavy 3-1 defeat to Norwich City last weekend, with Patrick Bamford starting as the lone striker and Kemar Roofe moving just behind him in the midfield.

And it was Bamford and Roofe who had the best of chances to scoring but the pair squandered their opportunities with Bamford in particular missing two sitters right in front of goal.

Leeds were also not helped by Jack Clarke who was substituted at half-time after the 18-year-old complained to the manager of feeling unwell.

Clarke had to spend the night in hospital, but fortunately, he was released on Sunday and is now in the process of recovering.

Pablo Hernandez replaced Clarke for the second-half but even he failed to really trouble Middlesbrough keeper Darren Randolph.

Bielsa, however, will not be very happy with the fact that his team had 70% of the possession on the day and had a total of 17 shots on goal with only four of them on target.

Leeds have been clinical in front of goal this season and the manager will be hoping someone like Roofe will soon get back to his good goal-scoring form, which has benefited the team quite tremendously this season. Indeed, it seems like Bielsa’ plan is still working, it’s just the forward players letting him down right now.
