Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch was happy with his side's draw against Crystal Palace.

The Whites are closing in on safety and another season in the Premier League.

Marsch, who took over late in the campaign from Marcelo Bielsa, has improved performances and results in a short time.

He praised his side after their battling 0-0 against Palace on Monday, on the back of a two-and-a-half week break from matches.

"The result is big, every point is important," Marsch told reporters.

"The performance was not our best but defensively very stable. Second clean sheet in a row, Kalvin Phillips played 90 minutes, we just have to take the positives away. At this place against a team that can be very explosive to hold a clean sheet is very important for us right now.

"[The point] gets us closer and closer to our ultimate goal. If you had said to me five games ago you'd pick up 11 points I'd have signed on the dotted line."

"It was not so easy with 16 days to keep game fitness and sharpness and that showed a little," he added.

"The mentality of the group and the willingness to fight helped to earn the point today. They want to play better, they still feel this is a game we can get three points out of. Coming to this place was never going to be easy. Finding a way to earn a point is big for us right now."
