Leeds pressure
83. McKinstry is proving a tricky customer on the far side for Everton. He’s making some clever runs in behind. Leeds keeping the ball away from the Toffees really well. Trying to build an attack but haven’t quite found that opening yet.
LEEDS CHANCE
80. Leeds chance... Jackson’s men on the front foot. Jenkins intercepts in the middle. Joffy then finds Miller and he lifts his effort over the bar from a tight angle.
Leeds corner
78. Good work on the far side again - it’s Leeds on the front foot. McKinstry again... but he can’t keep his delivery in play. Head in hands moment.
Leeds attack
77. United the better of the two teams at the moment - they win a corner ball. McKinstry and Moore link up. The former sees his low ball in turned behind. Everton clear the corner in.
Leeds attack
73. Few loose challenges going in from both teams - Joffy hasn’t really had a sniff since he came on at the break. Need to get him in this. Just as I say that he gives away a free-kick in the final third.
Leeds seeing the ball
70. United getting a bit of a second wind. Miller gets onto a ball over the top but he gives away a free-kick down the left. Leeds seeing a lot of the ball now but haven’t created much at all this half. Need to give Joffy an opening.
