Calamity keeper Kiko Casilla added another howler to his blooper highlights reel – but Leeds were spared more capital punishment .
Blundering Casillas gifted Brentford 's opener to Said Benrahma with a comical slip-up , but he was bailed out by skipper Liam Cooper 's equaliser .

Bielsa said : “ He does n't need any words from me : He knows I will always support him with my decisions .
“ And I know the human quality of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his team-mates and take confidence from them.
” Leeds dominated possession and Bees boss Thomas Frank 's pre-match claim they would “ fear ” Brentford cut little ice with Bielsa , who scoffed : “ Maybe he thought that would be our attitude .

And after four defeats in their previous five games , partisan refrains of 'Leeds , Leeds are falling apart again ' are breaking out in enemy heartlands to the tune of Joy Division 's Love Will Tear Us Apart .

The 2021 census could be the last one ever carried out after more than 200 years, with the UK's national statistician reported to be looking at ways to replace it.
The Guardian said Professor Sir Ian Diamond wants to explore whether he could collect the data recorded in the census from a range of other sources.
These could include GP registrations, council tax records and driving licences, which could also be supplemented by information gathered by surveys.
The Census has run formally since 1801.
Sir Ian, who took up the role in October last year, said: "I will only make a recommendation to change the way we do things if we can replicate the richness of the census data.
