Perhaps it is testament to the progress Leeds have made since returning to the Premier League just over a year ago that there was discontent at failing to move up to third after drawing with Crystal Palace.
For Palace, it was a first clean sheet of the Premier League season, having conceded at least twice in their opening four games, relieving pressure on Pierre Sage, while Leeds suffered their first blank.
The referee Adam Herczeg, making his Premier League debut and aware of the rules, awarded Leeds a corner as punishment.
Palace had the greater quality, with Adam Wharton and Timber comfortable in possession in the middle of the park, while Yéremy Pino whizzed around in the hope of finding an opener.
