Calvert-Lewin cancels out Schade’s opener as Leeds salvage point against Brentford
Leeds United and Brentford played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, with both sides maintaining unbeaten starts to the Premier League season. Brentford dominated the first half and deservedly led through Kevin Schade's clever finish, but Daniel Farke's tactical switch to a back four at half-time transformed Leeds, who fought back to earn a share of the spoils through Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Schade converted a Keane Lewis-Potter cross just before half-time after Brentford had comprehensively outplayed the hosts, with goalkeeper James Trafford making several saves to keep Leeds in the game. Farke's switch to a 4-2-3-1 turned the match, with substitutes Ao Tanaka and Lukas Nmecha proving influential, and Calvert-Lewin equalised with 11 minutes remaining by turning home a Nmecha cross to seal a fair result on the balance of play.
