Everton free-kick
2. Busy start. Both sides exchanging possession, couple of heady tackles already. Mullen through an Everton man on halfway but Leeds defend the quick set-piece.
Leeds attack
4. Brilliant run from McCarron. He starts in his own box and travels all the way to the Everton area. He feeds Allen, who is out wide. His low cross is blocked behind by the visitors. Nice play. Everton clear the corner ball.
Leeds corner
6. Dean with some nice footwork on the far side, he gets past one then another. He finds Allen. The midfielder opts to shoot from just outside the area and it’s blocked behind for a corner ball.
Everton defend
7. McGurk tries to fizz the corner low to the edge of the box but it’s cut out. Almost. Everton then sweep up another forward ball.
Everton chance
8. Everton attack. Mullen digs out a really important block. Toffees deliver, Van den Huevel punches clear but it’s only as far as Hughes. He drills a hard effort and Mullen drops back underneath the crossbar to clear away. Looked like it was going in. Important.
Leeds chance
10. Big chance for Allen but his header is wide. It might’ve come off his shoulder inside the six-yard box. Not sure he expected Dean’s cross to reach him in the area. Important block from Mullen just before. Good start.
