Calvert-Lewin earns Leeds draw against Brentford

  • Leeds drew 1-1 with Brentford at Elland Road.
  • Kevin Schade scored in the 40th minute for Brentford.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised in the 79th minute.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin fired a late equaliser as Leeds fought back to salvage a 1-1 draw against Brentford in their opening home Premier League game of the season.

Calvert-Lewin converted substitute Lukas Nmecha’s low cross in the 79th minute after Kevin Schade had given Brentford a deserved half-time lead.

Leeds had been outplayed for the first 45 minutes by a slick Brentford side, but responded to boss Daniel Farke’s tactical changes during the break and will feel they deserved their point.

Leeds were forced into an early change when Joe Rodon limped off with a left hamstring injury, replaced by recent signing Nico Elvedi, who made his league debut.

Brentford had won their opening two games, scoring nine goals, but could not hold on after Schade’s opener.

Why this matters: The result extends Leeds' unbeaten start to the Premier League season and maintains early momentum at Elland Road.

What this means for you: Leeds fans will be encouraged by the comeback and the team's resilience, while Brentford supporters may rue a missed opportunity to make it three wins from three.
