Leeds United will be the happier of the two teams following Sunday’s stalemate against Norwich City, says Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer. The pair played out a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final as they failed to take control of the contest.
Goalscoring opportunities were at a premium in the East Anglian sunshine with both Leeds and Norwich appearing reluctant to take risks and commit numbers in attack on a consistent basis. As such, there were just three shots on target throughout the entire contest with Leeds mustering two, while Illan Meslier’s only save was to block a tame free-kick in the first half.
The tie hangs in the balance going into the second leg on Thursday night at Elland Road then, with a place at Wembley Stadium on the line, but Lockyer, who won promotion through the play-offs with the Hatters last season, believes it’s advantage Leeds.
