Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a late tap-in to earn Leeds United a 1-1 draw with Brentford at Elland Road. Brentford took a deserved lead shortly before half-time when Kevin Schade guided Keane Lewis-Potter's low cross into the far corner with the outside of his right boot. Keith Andrews' side were particularly impressive in the first half, controlling the game with pace and aggression as new signing Mamadou Sangare shone in midfield.

Leeds head coach Daniel Farke responded at half-time, bravely switching to a back four with two substitutions which caused Brentford problems even though the visitors recorded 22 shots compared to the hosts' 12. The introduction of striker Lukas Nmecha later in the second half proved crucial as his low shot-cum-cross in the box was turned in from close range by Calvert-Lewin to leave both sides with four points from two games.

Calvert-Lewin, speaking to Sky Sports on being the only player to have scored in every Premier League season for the last 11 years, said: "It's crazy. It's flown by, I still remember my debut like yesterday. I'm proud to be here. It's been a long road to get to where I am now but I'm feeling very good and excited to keep playing."
