Leeds United‘s issues in front of goal continued in the 0-0 draw with Brentford, and Daniel Farke will be having nightmares.

The Whites have now scored just one goal from open play in their last five and a half Premier League matches.

Noah Okafor’s strike against Chelsea in the 2-2 draw on 10 February was the last time they managed it, and that was a result of a dismal defensive calamity from the Blues.

Farke must be worried by Leeds’ goalscoring woes, but how bad exactly are the underlying numbers for the Elland Road side?

What is the latest Leeds goalscoring reveal?

Leeds are still not safe in the relegation battle, and they need a major upturn in their goalscoring statistics if they are to avoid the drop.

According to Opta statistician Jonny Cooper‘s latest reveal, the Whites have had 64 shots without scoring in the top-flight, which is the second-longest run of any team in the division this season.

They have created 5.43 expected goals, recorded a total of 117 touches in the opposition box, but have no goals to show for it in that time, which is truly worrying given that they are just four points above the drop zone.

What has gone wrong for Leeds recently?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has had injury issues and gone off the boil, and he is the Whites’ main outlet when it comes to goals, with 10 already.

Okafor, who has four goals this season, has spent time on the sidelines recently, which certainly has not helped them.

Lukas Nmecha has not proven to be a reliable goalscorer across the campaign, despite his six goals that he has notched.

Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto have not proven their Premier League quality, as the Welshman and the Italian have both failed to find the target in the league this season.

Farke needs his attacking options to start finding their form again, otherwise, it could be a very tense and difficult end to the season for the LS11 side.

If they can’t start scoring, they will be dragged right back into the survival battle and may end up on the wrong side of it, back in the Championship for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
