Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uche was a notable absentee as Crystal Palace struggled to a 0-0 draw against Leeds United at Selhurst Park.

Despite a numerical advantage for the entire second half, the Eagles couldn’t find a breakthrough, Footballrover reports.

Christantus Uche Sidelines as 10-Man Leeds Frustrate Palace

The draw adds to a frustrating run for Palace, who missed the dynamism Uche has provided in his debut Premier League campaign.

The Season Data Breakdown:

Christantus Uche: 14 Premier League appearances (0 Goals, 0 Assists).

Uche in Europe: 4 UEFA Conference League apps with 2 goals, proving his clinical edge on the continental stage.

Match Stat: Palace became the first team in Premier League history to fail to register a shot on target against an opponent who had a player sent off in the first half.

Leeds drama: Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a first-half penalty before Gabriel Gudmundsson saw red.

With Uche watching from the sidelines, Palace lacked the cutting edge in the final third.

Should Glasner make the Nigerian international a guaranteed starter to fix this goal drought?
