Brentford vs Leeds: Calvert-Lewin goal denies Bees
In an often-scrappy game, the most notable event before the break was a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check to rule out a penalty for Brentford.
Gabriel Gudmundsson was adjudged to have fouled Dango Ouattara, who was then ruled offside in a decision announced on-pitch by referee John Brooks following a three-minute delay.
Brentford are next in action away to Manchester City in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday (19:30 GMT / 14:30 ET / 11:30 PT).
Leeds host Crystal Palace, who are currently fifth, on Saturday (20:00 GMT / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT).
