84. Brighton look to break out. The Seagulls surge forward and Shackleton brings down the runner - good foul. Yellow.

88. Wow. Almost a killer blow for Leeds. Brighton get down United’s right. The ball is pulled back, March shoots low and it hits the post. It smacks Meslier on the way back and looked to be in for a second but Leeds survive, just.

90. We’re into added time.

90+2. Deep ball into the Leeds box, it’s headed across goal and Meslier claims it. Time almost up...

It ends 0-0 at the Amex... Leeds will take that, they were second best. Brighton weren’t quite as threatening in the second half but really should’ve taken one of their chances.

Reaction to follow.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to Match of the Day: “The point is an important point for us, in the first half the differences were big in their favour. And in the second half it was more even, there was alternate dominance and similar chances. After a lull first half, to have evened the game, we value it.

“In the first half we were in conditions to play like we did in the second half, the structure of the team was the same.

“The changes we managed for them to lose confidence when they played out from the back. The duels, we evened them up, we improved the recovery of the ball - it’s not that nothing changed!”

Brighton’s manager Graham Potter, speaking to Sky Sports: “It’s frustrating not to score but that can happen sometimes in football.

“I thought our performance was fantastic and brave because of the way Leeds defend and they did well with that.

“I’m really happy with the way the team played, we created chances today, if we maintain this performance level then we will be fine and we will score in the coming games.

“Sometimes it just doesn’t happen on the day but that’s life.

“Tariq Lamptey has done really well, coming back into fitness and he looked like he enjoyed it. He caused them problems. I think there’s lots of positives for us today.”

On some fans booing: “The fans are entitled to their opinions but I disagree with them. You have to understand the game, who we played and what we did. We are sitting eighth in the Premier League but maybe I need a history lesson on this club.

“We will continue to play with the same level of courage and bravery going forward. But for today we have to take the point and the clean sheet.”
