HEADLINE: 10-Man Leeds United Holds Crystal Palace to Scoreless Draw in Premier League Opener

LONDON (Interstat) — Crystal Palace and Leeds United opened their Premier League campaigns with a 0-0 draw Sunday at Selhurst Park, a match defined by defensive resolve after an early red card.

Leeds played with 10 men for most of the contest after substitute Gabriel Gudmundsson received a second yellow card in first-half stoppage time. The visitors then bunkered defensively, successfully stifling Palace’s attack despite the home side being heavily favored. Interstat’s ELO system had given Palace a 97.7% probability to win.

The physical match featured six yellow cards in total. Both teams move to 0-0-1 records in league play.
