Leeds hold Palace to stay unbeaten after five

Leeds United are still unbeaten in the Premier League after a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday 20 September.

Five games. No defeats.

The point was enough to stretch Leeds' unbeaten start to five league matches, Leeds United confirmed. BBC Sport listed the result as 0-0 in Leeds.

A goalless draw, for anyone new to the scoreline, means neither side found the net. Each team takes a single point, rather than the three awarded for a win. For Leeds, it keeps the early-season total ticking over without a loss attached.

The fixture had been listed as Leeds United against Crystal Palace for Sunday 20 September in the 2026/27 season. On the day, the home side held firm to preserve their record. The club later published highlights from the 0-0 draw, dated 20 Sep 26, for supporters who missed the live action.

The afternoon was not without its nervous moments. James Trafford admitted to a brief flashback to a previous Yeremy Pino free-kick, a dead-ball shot from distance, when Palace shaped to shoot in the second half, Leeds United reported. It passed. The clean sheet, football's term for conceding no goals, stayed intact.

Manager Daniel Farke summed up the mood in four words. "Take it and move on," was his verdict on the Palace stalemate, Leeds United reported. No frustration. No celebration. Just the pragmatism of a head coach banking a point at home and looking ahead.

What makes this stand out is the steadiness rather than the spectacle. There was no late winner and no controversy. Just five games without losing, which keeps belief growing quietly among players and supporters. Those are the runs that give a dressing room confidence before tougher tests arrive.

For fans, this means something simple and enjoyable. A 0-0 can sound dull on paper. In the ground, it rarely feels that way, with every blocked shot drawing a gasp and every near miss lifting people off their seats. Leeds supporters left with that small, shared satisfaction of still being unbeaten, and that feeling alone can lift a week.
