Leeds United were held to a 0-0 draw at West Bromwich Albion but were celebrating a clean sheet
Leeds United central defensive duo Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk have not had the easiest of starts to the season but showed signs a partnership that was blossoming last year can do so again as they helped hold West Bromwich Albion to a goalless draw at The Hawthorns.
The frustration for Leeds is Daniel Farke's men remain winless after two league games and a cup clash, but the nature of the result and claiming a first clean sheet after a tough start to the season was a real positive for the two defenders as they spoke to Sky Sports after the game. "It is important for us to build confidence, especially after the last two games because it's not been easy. We want to win every game but if you can't win them don't lose them," explained Rodon, who was keen to skirt around the question of the impact of losing Georginio Rutter on the back of a series of high-profile departures this summer.
"We had conceded six goals and the last time we played here it was really tough so to come here and get a clean sheet and a point is a good result. It was really important we didn't conceded anymore. They are a good side and well structured so it was also tough for us to create."
