Leeds attack
67. Corner ball taken. Leeds win another. United take it short and Harrison delivers but Struijk can’t work his header on target. Goal-kick.
Meslier saves
72. Ajax toying with Leeds a little there. United try to defend an attack down the left that is eventually worked into the box. Danilo shoots but it’s tame and straight at Meslier.
Leeds attack
73. McCarron runs forward. He finds Roberts to his left. The forward tries to lift a ball into Bamford but it’s blocked at the vital moment.
Ajax handball shout
75. A shot is hit at Dallas. It strikes hit arm but it’s well into his body and the ref waves play on. Roberts then wins a free-kick to relieve more pressure.
Shackleton down
77. Huge clash of heads near the dugout. Shackleton has come off worse. He’s down on the floor and getting treatment.
Shackleton off
80. Jenkins off for Shack. Didn’t look good - managed to get to his feet but in clear discomfort. Straight down the tunnel.
Ajax attack
81. Jensen unleashes a shot from outside the box. It worries Meslier for a second as he scrambles to his right but it flies the wrong side of the post.
