Speaking after the match, Whites manager Marcelo Bielsa claimed: "We value a lot the point, if there had to be a winner it wouldn’t have been us. In the first half they established a difference in comparison to us.
“In the second half we were slightly better. The superiority they showed in the first half was greater than the superiority we showed in the second half. If we don’t play at the rhythm we play at, the differences between us would be a lot bigger.”
Meanwhile, down in the Championship, it's set to be another busy midweek period for Yorkshire's second-tier sides, with Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town facing off in a huge relegation battle clash, high-flying Barnsley taking on Wycombe Wanderers, and Rotherham United returning to action almost two weeks after their last game, with a home fixture against Watford.
Here are today's biggest transfer stories and the latest team news involving Leeds United, Barnsley and a number of other clubs from Yorkshire and beyond, as the build-up to the upcoming weekend action continues:
