Leeds United’s fans have their say on Sunday’s 1-1 draw against arch rivals Manchester United at Elland Road.
Leeds United ultimately had to settle for a point as Sunday’s visit of arch rivals Manchester United ended in a 1-1 draw - but what did the club’s fans think? Here is what our YEP Jury had to say with a general agreement that a draw was actually a fair result and good point plus a Whites penalty claim.

Two evenly-matched teams slugged it out in a close contest which inevitably resulted in a draw.
It became clear that our once flamboyant opponents had travelled across the Pennines with the objective of parking the bus and trying to hit the Whites on the break.
The home side dominated possession and had more shots on target but it was Man United who took the lead in a dour and bad tempered first half.
Bryan Mbeumo had sent a free header the wrong side of the post from a Youri Tielemans cross before he slipped in front of James Justin to give Man United the lead after latching on to another fine assist from Tielemans.
For Leeds, Nico Elvedi's header was saved by Senne Lammens and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sent his header wide of the post.
Early in the second half, the Whites had their first corner of the match and Tarik Muharemovic was first to the ball.
He nodded it down into the danger area where the tireless Dominic Calvert-Lewin did what he does best and slotted in the equaliser.
Although ending in disappointment, this was a fair result.
Man of the match: Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Many folk had this down as an odds-on Leeds win including most of the Jury, but I always felt that was to underestimate Man United’s start to the season.
They had only one league win on the board, but they’d picked up three useful-looking draws and lost by a single goal to their city rivals. Add to that the siege mentality they’d inevitably bring after their recent internal issues, and I thought a draw would be a good result for Leeds. That’s pretty much how it panned out.
Leeds gave away a poor first-half goal when Tarik Muharemović was slow to track Youri Tielemans, and James Justin got the wrong side of Mbeumo, who slid the ball home.
Leeds levelled when Dominic Calvert-Lewin reacted quickest to a right-wing corner that Tarik headed down. Other chances were few and far between.
The visitors’ best was a first-half header for Mbeumo, and Leeds' best was a late effort that Anton Stach couldn’t convert.
Senne Lammens made a fine early save to deny Nico Elvedi, and Leeds were denied a penalty when Harry Maguire pulled down Ethan Ampadu by his neck, but too many Leeds crosses were wasted, and too many shots flew over the bar.
Man of the match: Tarik Muharemovic, who was constantly in the game at both ends.

Leeds United had to settle for a point in a fiercely-contested War of the Roses derby at Elland Road, coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Manchester United.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's second-half equaliser sparked the home crowd into life, but despite pushing for a winner, Daniel Farke's side could not get it. The visitors took the lead in the 35th minute when Bryan Mbeumo found the net, leaving Leeds with work to do.
The goal gave Man United something to protect, and they managed to take their advantage into half-time despite Leeds looking to respond.
Leeds came out with greater purpose after the interval and were rewarded just six minutes into the second half.
A corner from Anton Stach caused problems in the Man United penalty area, with Tarik Muharemovic knocking the ball down for Calvert-Lewin to control and fire home from close range in the 51st minute.
The biggest late opportunity came when Anton Stach's effort threatened to slip through goalkeeper Senne Lammens, only for Noussair Mazraoui to clear the ball off the line.
Although Leeds could not claim the bragging rights with a victory, they showed enough fight to suggest there is plenty more to come this season.
Man of the match: Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
EVAN SEAMAN
Both Leeds United and Manchester United settled for a point on Sunday as Dominic Calvert-Lewin denied the Red Devils a much-needed win.
I thought that Leeds were slow to get out of the blocks and Anton Stach wasn’t able to control midfield duels, which meant Calvert-Lewin was feeding off scraps.
Man United probably should have been winning 2-0 by half-time as Bryan Mbuemo found himself with a free header inside the penalty area but could not get his effort on target.
However, Leeds dug deep in the second half and started controlling possession more and eventually got their reward when Calvert-Lewin won the ball from a corner and slotted the ball calmly past Senne Lammens.
Despite having 61 per cent of possession overall, Leeds could not find that elusive winning goal, much to the relief of under-pressure Man United manager Michael Carrick.
The result means Leeds stay in seventh place in the table whereas Man United remain in 13th position.
Next week for Leeds is a trip to Sunderland who are currently in the bottom three and will be desperate to pick up some points.
Man of the match: Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

This was a game of few real chances with defences largely on top.
Leeds could have won it late on and dominated the stats, but in truth a draw was a fair result, and a result which shows how Leeds have improved this season – with players and manager being disappointed with the result.
If they can compete like they have recently they will win the games that really matter points-wise. Seventh position at this stage of the season is exceeding expectations.
Unfortunately, on Sunday, Leeds faced an opposition galvanised by recent traumas and a manager who had discovered his tactics board.
A back five and strong midfield resulted in a more resolute team performance.
After Leeds’ initial dominance, the Reds grew into the game and following unusual defensive lapses by Tarik Muharemovic and James Justin, Bryan Mbeumo finished neatly past James Trafford on 35 minutes.
Leeds improved in the second half and equalised when Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted an Anton Stach corner headed down by Muharemovic. They pushed for a winner but all too frequently crosses were poor and finishing wayward.
Man of the match: Jayden Bogle.
