Crystal Palace earned recognition from Leeds United defender Tarik Muharemovic after Sunday’s goalless Premier League draw at Elland Road.
Muharemovic said Palace showed their quality during a fiercely contested match, highlighting the team’s compact defensive shape and the way both sides competed throughout the game.
The result gave Leeds a point and preserved their unbeaten start in the Premier League, although Muharemovic acknowledged that his side could have been more effective in possession.
While he felt Leeds brought the required intensity to the contest, the defender admitted there was room for improvement when his team had the ball. Palace’s organisation helped ensure that Leeds could not turn their effort into a winning performance.
Muharemovic also spoke positively about his experience at Leeds, saying he enjoys being with the club’s players. Palace will take satisfaction from matching Leeds in a match that produced a hard-fought share of the points.
