Leeds 1-5 Crystal Palace: Dominant Eagles second half display secures crucial points in massive relegation six-pointer as Jordan Ayew's double and Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and Odsonne Edouard cancel out Patrick Bamford's 50th Leeds strike

The sort of day that cannot just be shrugged off. Not one that will be easy to, either. Only mild booing at full-time, although Elland Road was barely half full by that point.

Leeds United, despite something of an upturn under Javi Gracia, were unfathomably bad. To illustrate this: Jordan Ayew scored his first ever brace in English football, eight years after arriving.

Two points remains the gap between them and the bottom three after this failure to capitalise on Nottingham Forest and Leicester City’s weekend woes. But also a failure to capitalise on their own performance, which had been stellar for around 40 minutes.
