Until Joe Rodon was sent for an early bath here, Leeds looked a very good bet to claim a third straight away league win.

They’d been the dominant side, carving out all the chances of note. Indeed, Hull were indebted to their goalkeeper Ryan Allsop for making three important first-half saves to keep his team in contention.

And as Daniel Farke’s slick attack built up a second-half head of steam all the smart money was on them to emerge with three points.

Down to 10 for the final 35 minutes, Leeds were ultimately counting their blessings they came away with a point.

With two minutes left, Adama Traore somehow conspired to strike the post with most of the goal gaping after Connolly’s cross picked him out.

Those in white shirts couldn’t quite believe their luck, even if they didn’t deserve to lose this one.

Traore simply wanted the ground to swallow him up after spurning a golden chance to continue Hull’s momentum this season under Liam Rosenior.

Farke was frustrated Rodon received his first-half yellow card: ‘It was never a yellow against Joe, not even a foul. But if you are booked, you have to be a bit smarter and here we have to be a bit more self-critical.’

The Leeds boss added: ‘I had the feeling there was one team who will win this game, but that is football.

‘Momentum can change. The opponents gets a bit more brave and confident, you have to sit deeper and dig in.

‘Normally in football, you lose such a game and you ask why we haven’t won it. So I am pleased with a good point on the road, a good performance and clean sheet.’

Leeds created all the chances of note in the first-half and but for Allsop might have been out of sight.

Crysencio Summerville had replaced the injured Wilfried Gnonto after 20 minutes and was soon setting Georginio Rutter clean through on goal.

Rutter, if anything, had too much time to decide how to finish and his eventual effort was blocked by Allsop’s leg and flew wide.

The Hull stopper when pushed Summerville’s near-post effort over and the Dutchman then let fly on the volley after Rutter’s cute flick, only to be denied again.

After the break, Leeds skipper Luke Ayling blazed over after striding through acres of space down the right.

But Rodon’s red offered Hull hope. Liam Delap surged down the right and his fizzed cross was inches from Connolly’s boot.

Traore would go even closer at the death but stalemate was our outcome.

‘But for a miss from a yard out, we go home very happy tonight,’ said Rosenior. ‘We were so close to beating what is a very good team.

‘They are the teams we want to compete with, that is the level I want us to get to.’
