  • RESULT: Leeds United 0-1 Newcastle United

12. SAVE! Big chance for Leeds... Rodrigo plays a ball across the box. Raphinha puts it back in for James, he shoots but it’s saved. Solid hands. Stop in play for a knock or two.

14. Fabian Schar is the man down getting treatment after the chance... Gary Speed’s name sung by both sets of fans for a moment, nice touch.

Newcastle come forward

15. Play restarts. Visitors on the attack, ASM though can’t find anyone with a ball into the area. Goal-kick.

16. Saint-Maximin with a shot wide from the edge of the box... never any danger on it.

18. A beauty of a ball from Llorente out to Harrison. He takes it in his stride, crosses low but can’t find anyone. Klich then flashes a shot across goal after an Ayling flick.

20. Leeds corner. Pressure being applied... Elland Road noises levels rising.

21. Raphinha with a shot over from distance. Dubravka tried to claim the corner but missed the ball in. Harrison with the lay-off.

23. ASM in the box, he dances around in the area but he’s crowded out by the Leeds defence. Meslier claims it.

24. Harrison, who is having a fair amount of joy down Trippier’s side so far, delivers low. Deflection up and Raphinha heads at goal. Blocked then a free-kick given for a high boot against the winger.

26. Long ball forward from Struijk to James... it’s too far ahead of the Leeds man. Joelinton then hits the deck off the ball. He needs some treatment.
