Leeds United 0-0 Brentford
Well, that was 90 minutes I’ll never get back from a West Ham perspective. Leeds United vs Brentford felt like a must-watch, but it rarely delivered.
In a battle of long throws, quality was in short supply, with both sides cancelling each other out for most of the match. Leeds had everything to lose, while Brentford had everything to gain following slip-ups from teams above them in the Premier League.
But it’s the other end of the table — and West Ham’s relegation scrap — where the real interest lay at Elland Road.

Leeds now sit four points ahead of the Hammers, but a win against Aston Villa tomorrow would be absolutely massive for West Ham.
Of course, there’s still plenty to come. West Ham face Leeds in the FA Cup and again on the final day of the season — a match that could easily turn into a relegation shoot-out.
Daniel Farke’s side also have Wolves and Burnley to come at Elland Road, which on paper looks one of the kinder run-ins among the teams fighting for survival.
