Street shoots low, tamely as Palace fashion another chance. They’re taking the ball off Leeds too easily and too often in the visitors’ half of the pitch. At the other end Amari Miller is flagged offside as he shapes to shoot from an acute angle.
GOAL! Cry Summerville slides in a cool finish. Bate picked the ball up with a nice interception, it was swung wide to the far side by Jenkins and the Leeds fans in the ground are treated to a lovely goal as Summerville gets in behind his man and beats the keeper.
9 - Chance! Forshaw on the ball in the middle, finds Bate and he slips the ball into the feet of Gelhardt who curls the ball over the top. Leeds have emerged from a difficult start, taken the lead and come close to doubling it. An excellent response.
A free header inside the area from a free-kick and it’s level all of a sudden. Jake O’Brien the man to nod past Klaesson.
PENALTY! RED CARD! Palace down to 10 as Boateng is adjudged to have handled on the line as Miller shot for goal.
Leeds deserved a goal in the lead up to that penalty award. Cody Drameh produced a silky dribble to beat two and get towards the byline, cutting the ball back nicely. Miller was on hand at the far post when the ball rebounded his way and his shot was goalbound, the officials decided, which is why Boateng walked.
24 - Summerville clips the feet of Street. Banks replaced by Quick, for Palace, as they reshuffle to adapt to being a man down.
