Analysis: Visitors fail to make most of opportunity

Leeds are likely to feel equally as frustrated as their opponents that they will make the long trip back to Yorkshire with only a share of the spoils.

For large parts of the afternoon it seemed only a case of how many goals Daniel Farke's side would put past Brighton as they raced into an early lead on the south coast.

The fact that Leeds have now scored only once in their last eight games at the Amex will have weighed heavily on the shoulders of their players as they missed several opportunities, with Anton Stach coming the closest, to extending their lead further.

But as a clear sense of fatigue seeped into the legs of the Leeds players in the latter stages of the match, the Whites can be thankful that Brighton, who registered four of their five shots on target in the second half, didn't punish their weariness.

It should not take away from the fact it remains a strong point on board for Farke and Leeds, who have now only lost three of their last 16 Premier League games and are hoping this season will be spent higher up the table than last campaign.

Five points from the opening three games of the season suggest that Leeds are on course to do that.
