'I think it's a really big point': Jesse Marsch praises his players after hard-fought draw away at Crystal Palace as Leeds pull slightly away to leave Burnley and Everton in a dog-fight

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch hailed a hard-fought goalless draw at Crystal Palace as a 'really big point' in the battle to avoid Premier League relegation.

A forgettable, if sometimes fiery, 90 minutes at Selhurst Park could yet have yielded a pivotal result for Leeds, who sit 16th in the table.

They are now five points clear of Everton, who currently occupy the final relegation berth, but have played a game more than the Toffees.

With their next three games coming against top-four sides in Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, taking a share of the spoils in south London was key for Marsch.
