Derby booking
14. Dixon picks up a booking for the Rams. He takes out Summerville inside the Leeds half. It was late and high. The winger hauls himself up as the yellow card is given.
Leeds corner
15. Summerville races into the box past his man and delivers low. Derby put it behind for a Leeds corner. United need to get him more involved.
Break in play
17. There’s a Derby player down on the deck. The stoppage allows both teams to take some water and instructions on board. Leeds haven’t had a sniff in front of goal so far.
Leeds are level
19. Leeds are level. Summerville does it all himself - drives at Derby, wins the ball in a 50-50 and sprints past a couple of defenders before firing a low shot home. Lovely goal.
Leeds attack
21. Drameh tries to find Summerville over the top with a ball but Derby mop it up. The game has got some pace since the leveller... both teams going at it.
Derby back in front
23. Derby take the lead once more. Their first attack since the leveller from Leeds. A ball comes in front the left. It hits Kenneh on the back as he challenges at the front post and falls perfectly to Dixon. He makes no mistakes and taps home into an empty net from inside the six-yard box. Frustrating.
