Daniel Farke championed Leeds United's mentality as "second to none", insisting he would trust his players "with my life" following their hard-earned point against Crystal Palace.

Leeds settled for a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park, where they played over 45 minutes with 10 men following Gabriel Gudmundsson's dismissal in first-half stoppage time.

The visitors had generated the stronger attacking threat during the opening period, though they squandered an opportunity to break the deadlock when Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty.

Leeds had to dig deep after the break, surviving a scare when Jefferson Lerma's close-range header was ruled out for offside, before holding on for a point that took them three clear of the relegation zone.

"I would trust my lads with my life," Farke said. "We are not perfect, but the mentality in the dressing room is second to none.

"In the circumstances, in a difficult away game, we defended the whole time and we didn't give any chances away. Fantastic spirit, defending, clean sheet, and a point away.

"I am just proud of how we defended. Even in the second half, there were even moments where we thought we could win the game."

On Gudmundsson's red card, he added: "Everyone in the stadium can see [it was the wrong decision]. It was doubtful if it was even a foul. For me, it was a clear mistake."

Meanwhile, Palace failed to score in successive home matches for only the second time under Oliver Glasner, who also oversaw a 0-0 draw with AEK Larnaca on Thursday.

The Eagles did not register a single shot on target, and the Palace head coach conceded his players were lacking a cutting edge.

"We could have done better, but we know that sometimes it can be more difficult [playing 10 men]," Glasner said.

"In a few other games, we have been in a similar situation. We were getting nervous and making the wrong decisions. We weren't clinical enough in the final third.

"In the end, a point and another clean sheet. It is progress. It's not so easy, especially when Leeds are so organised and so physical.

"Sometimes, you need a player who will win in a one-v-one situation, but to be honest, we don't have plenty of them. At the end, a draw is fair. Credit to Leeds for how they defended. We take this point."
