Manager Simon Grayson firmly believes Saturday's 2-2 draw with Huddersfield Town at Elland Road took Leeds United another step closer to the aim of promotion.

The unbeaten league run on home soil stretched to 21 games, despite Huddersfield twice hitting back after goals from Robert Snodgrass and Max Gradel.

Along with Norwich City, Huddersfield were the best side to visit Leeds this season, and while there was plenty of entertainment for the fans, the manager was left with mixed emotions.

EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS PLUS FULL REACTION ON LUTV

"It was a decent game and an entertaining game," said Grayson. "There were chances at both ends, but maybe it was a bit too open for my liking.

"You have to give credit to both sides. Huddersfield are an attacking side and it's not like us to concede two!

"I'm satisfied we've taken a point and we're still unbeaten at home, so there were a lot of positives."

When Lee Novak scored Huddersfield's first equaliser moments after half-time, it was the first league goal Leeds have conceded since the 2-1 defeat at Millwall on October 24.

"There were certain aspects I was a little disappointed with," said the boss.

"We didn't stop crosses coming into the box, but sometimes you have to accept they are worthy opposition, and they are a threat.

"At 1-0 so quickly you thought we might go on, and it was disappointing to get pegged back, and then again when we wanted to see the game out.

"Neither team deserved to lose the game. I'd said to the staff at the start of the week that we'd have taken four points from the six, and that's how it turned out.

"We didn't lose. They didn't close the gap. We took another point towards where we want to be, we'll accept that and get ready for Tuesday."
