Premier League, Leeds | Incredible overtime drama when Leeds defeated Crystal Palace

The away team misused the chances, before they were blown away by hands in their own field in the final seconds.


LEEDS – CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0:

The match between Leeds United and Crystal Palace seemed to ebb without both goals and a winning team on Tuesday night.

But in overtime of the second half, the young Palace midfielder Marc Guéhi (21) handled with a high arm in his own field on a set piece.

After seeing replays with VAR assistance, referee Kevin Friend showed no mercy with the U21 national team player to England.

– It’s so relentless, but that’s football. Newcastle were punished almost identically the same earlier tonight. It is close, but the arm has nothing to do there, commented TV 2’s Endre Olav Osnes in the exciting seconds before judge Friend made the decision.

Top scorer Raphinha made no mistake from the chalk and sent the home crowd to heaven with a cold penalty kick past Vicente Guaita.

– Raphinha is so refined. He jumps, Guaita waits. Guaita is good too, but it’s out of reach for the last chance. It is so cold, and so safe of Raphinha to have control in that situation, Osnes commented.

Both teams noted with persistent fighting when weakly placed Leeds hosted Crystal Palace on Elland Road on Tuesday night.

Scores were still not for any of the teams, despite good goal chances.

Palace striker Christian Benteke got a couple of really great opportunities towards the end of the settlement, but without success.

Especially a quarter of an hour before full time, the large Belgian should have been counted.

Edge star Wilfried Zaha found Benteke with a very precise post at the back post, the striker stabbed the ball outside the gaping Leeds net.

– This is a huge miss. It is an open goal approximately. Benteke will set it, said TV 2’s studio expert Espen Ween.

Leeds also had their chances in the second round to secure a long-awaited victory. Attacker Rodrigo was among those who did not use them.

But Leeds was counted on the penalty kick after 90 minutes had passed, and could thus take two steps up the table.

The Yorkshire team is now number 15 in the Premier League, one point behind Tuesday’s opponent.
