and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds United's one-all draw with Everton ensured the Whites kept up their unbeaten run at Elland Road this season, although there was a tinge of disappointment at full-time given the dominance Leeds showed.
United were aggressive and in the ascendancy for much of the second half, as Elland Road tried its utmost to drive the team towards a winning goal.

Centre-forward Rodrigo was taken off with a shoulder dislocation during the first half, meanwhile Brenden Aaronson was also substituted late on, leaving just Jack Harrison of Jesse Marsch’s starting attackers to see out the 90 minutes in what was a pulsating affair.
At full-time Everton boss and former New York City FC teammate Frank Lampard discussed Harrison’s performance and development since dovetailing with the Bolton-born winger in Major League Soccer.
“Jack Harrison is one of the best wingers in the Premier League, no doubt in my mind,” Lampard said

"I thought [Nathan] Patterson was superb, because not only did he protect when he had to be nice and compact, but he had to get out and go 1-v-1 with Jack,” Lampard added.
Harrison tested young Scottish full-back Nathan Patterson throughout the game, but struggled to create too many chances of note, unlike recent weeks.
The England World Cup hopeful made three assists in the opening three matches of this season, while also adding to his goals tally for 2022 in the win over Chelsea.
