Leeds v Swansea live
Frantic start
5: James has the ball in the net at one end but is offside. Swansea then hit a long ball forward, Struijk makes a mess of his attempted header back to Meslier, Paterson nips in and lobs Meslier with one minute on the clock. But Leeds hit straight back as Summerville plays in Piroe to neatly convert.
CHANCE LEEDS
13: Summerville glides past Cabango inside the box, shot from a tight angle saved by Rushworth's feet.
Summerville fine
18: Back on and quick burst of pace to try and reach a Rutter pass down the flank, too much on it, Leeds well on top now
