Palace were put under pressure in the first-half and entered the break at 1-1, but having conceded eight shots and created just one. At full-time they’d managed 13 shots compared with Leeds’ 10, having turned around their performance markedly for the second-half.
Revealing his half-time message, Vieira told Sky Sports: “It was that we of course have the ability to play better in the second-half than we did in the first. We needed to be more in their face and a little more direct. We needed to find our front three for them to hold the ball and to wait for support from the midfielders.
