Both sides created opportunities to find a winner, with United goalkeeper Senne Lammens denying Anton Stach late on, as Leeds extended their unbeaten home league run while United missed another chance to secure a much-needed victory.
Real Madrid cruised to a 4-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday, October 18, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice to keep the pressure on leaders Barcelona ahead of next week’s El Clasico.
