**Report and Free Match Highlights: West Bromwich Albion vs. Leeds United in the Sky Bet Championship at The Hawthorns on Saturday**

On Saturday, West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United played to a goalless draw in the Sky Bet Championship at The Hawthorns. Leeds, still searching for their first win of the season, managed their first clean sheet in a 0-0 stalemate against West Brom. The match saw limited clear-cut chances, with last season’s joint Golden Glove winners, Alex Palmer and Illan Meslier, holding firm behind solid defenses. This was a relief for Leeds after conceding three goals in each of their previous two matches, including their midweek Carabao Cup loss to Middlesbrough.

Despite the draw, Leeds fans expressed their frustration, booing when passes went backward and again at the final whistle. Leeds were without forward Georginio Rutter, who was replaced by Joel Piroe after Brighton triggered a £40 million release clause in Rutter’s contract.

West Brom, aiming to recover from their midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Fleetwood, started strong with several early corners and possession, but it was Leeds who created the first chances. Junior Firpo and Ethan Ampadu both came close, with Ampadu’s long-range attempt just missing the mark.

Leeds full-back Jayden Bogle received the first booking after fouling Tom Fellows, leading to West Brom’s first threat from a John Swift free-kick. Leeds nearly scored just before halftime, but Pascal Struijk’s header was deflected wide.

West Brom began the second half strongly, with Jayson Molumby forcing a save from Meslier. Leeds responded with a weak header from Ampadu, and Joel Piroe missed an opportunity to give Leeds the lead.

Daniel Farke made substitutions to change the game’s momentum, but West Brom continued to press, with Karlan Grant and Kyle Bartley both missing chances. Leeds countered with a Struijk header that sailed wide, but it was West Brom who looked the more threatening side and will feel disappointed not to have secured a win.
