Leeds United had to settle for a point against West Bromwich Albion this afternoon as their five-game winning streak came to an end.

Junior Firpo scored for the second consecutive game following his goal against Sheffield United. But they went in to the break level following Darnell Furlong's equaliser in the 39th minute and were unable to grab a winner.

Daniel Farke's side were looking to distance themselves from promotion rivals Sheffield, who are in action at Queens Park Rangers today. Should the Blades come away winners, they will close the gap to three points with 11 games left to play.

Speaking to reporters after the game at Elland Road, Farke felt his team missed too many chances that could have been the difference. "Yes, sometimes you have also have to accept to learn to live with a point and we do today," he said.

"Top start to the game, we played on the front foot and scored a fantastic goal. You could feel 'OK we can only bury the game'. Like always, we have so many highlight, spotlight games, difficult emotional games and then you go and lead and the sun is shining. Perhaps we were a bit overconfident in possession.

"We lost then a bit of the control over the game, our passing was not 100% focused. West Brom came back into the game, with a good header and they scored the equaliser. It was a good reaction in the second half because it is difficult once you lose momentum over the game then to gain control back.

"We played against a good side, sadly missed too many chances, sometimes the other side can score on the counter attack and you can lose such a game. In the end we wanted to but in the end you have to live with a point."

The Whites will return to Championship action next Sunday when they take on Portsmouth at Fratton Park (12pm kick-off).
