Leeds held the ball, but Manchester United's attack fell well short

Leeds and Manchester United drew 1-1 at Elland Road, with the visitors creating far less than their usual level while spending most of the game without the ball.

Manchester United left Elland Road with a point, but their attack was well below its normal level. They had 38% of the ball, against a season average of 57%, and their expected goals (xG, a score for how good the chances were) was 0.93, against an average of 2.32.

Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead in the 35th minute, finishing a move set up by Youri Tielemans. Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled in the 51st minute, assisted by Tarik Muharemović, and his 7.96 rating was the highest in the match data for either side.

Leeds had 62% of the ball, well above their average of 44.5%, and they took 12 shots, close to their usual 11.5. Their xG of 1.00 was also above their average of 0.82, and five of their shots were on target. They conceded one goal, slightly more than their average of 0.83.

United's 12 shots matched the league's typical side, which averages 13.32, but they were far short of their own average of 19.5. Only three of those shots were on target, and six came from inside the box. Their xG of 0.93 is the clearest sign that their chances were poorer than usual, even though they scored and conceded only one each.

Leeds sit seventh in the table with 10 points from seven games, two wins, four draws and one defeat. Manchester United are 13th with seven points, from one win, four draws and two defeats. Both sides have drawn four of their seven matches.
