Kelleher was forced into action to repel Justin’s low attempt before Calvert-Lewin levelled the scoreline in the 79th minute, tapping in Nmecha’s fizzing cross. Thiago almost restored Brentford's advantage, but his close-range header was thwarted by Trafford before scuffing the follow-up. The hosts created 12 shots with two on target, reflected by an xG of 1.43, whereas the visitors registered 22 shots with five on target, highlighted by an xG of 1.56.

CHANCE! Almost a winner for Leeds! Elvedi threads a pass into the path of Calvert-Lewin, but the striker is denied by the feet of Kelleher! However, the assistant referee flags for offside! Replays show it would have been tight had the ball crossed the line...
Brentford, who have impressed for the majority of this contest, find themselves pegged back at 1-1. After Calvert-Lewin's equaliser, the Whites are pushing for a late winner...
SAVE! Brentford almost retake the lead! Ouattara has space on the right before swinging a delivery into the box. Thiago, who has been largely quiet in the contest, connects with a clean header, but Trafford gets down low to make a brilliant stop. It comes back out to the Brazilian, but he scuffs the follow-up!
Nmecha gets his first assist of the season. The home side have now scored in their last four Premier League home games.
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! OUT OF NOWHERE, LEEDS UNITED LEVEL THE SCORELINE!!! It's good play down the right-hand side with Nmecha collecting Ampadu's low cross before fizzing the ball across goal. Calvert-Lewin is unmarked, and taps into an empty net from close range! It's Brentford 1-1 Leeds United!
Stach steps up to take the free-kick, but it's poor as it hits the Brentford wall. The visiting defence proceed to clear the danger away...
YELLOW! Janelt goes into the referee's notebook for dissent! That all came after the referee awarded Leeds a free-kick just outside the 18-yard box...
YELLOW! Ajer is booked for swiping the feet of Nmecha down the left-hand side. That was a poor challenge from the defender as he completely missed the ball.
BIG CHANCE! Nmecha plays James through on goal, but Lewis-Potter does well to get back and force James wide before the Welshman scuffs an attempt well wide of the left-hand post!
Kayode hangs a right-wing cross into the box, but it's brilliant defending from Wilson at the far post to deny Brentford a second!

BIG SAVE! It opens up for Justin with the full-back aiming an effort towards the bottom-left corner, but Kelleher is alert to tip the shot past the post!
The Bees survive a scare as Kayode's back pass narrowly evades Calvert-Lewin. The Brentford players need to keep their concentration here...
Andrews decides to make a change as former Leeds attacker Anthony comes off for Ouattara. What a player to bring on...
