  • RESULT: Leeds United 1-0 Crystal Palace

90. It’s now or never for Leeds...

90. Ayew off, Olise on.

89. Nice build-up from Leeds... Cooper steps inside, feeds Firpo. Roberts turns and shoots but his effort is easily saved by Guaita.

87. He flies in on Kouyate... he pressed Palace back in their own half but gives away the set-piece.

86. Gallagher’s free-kick is headed behind for a corner by Raphinha... Leeds, though, clear the second phase of the attack.

86. Rodrigo gives away a free-kick wide on the left, level with the edge of the area. Big chance...

84. Fair play to Firpo. Foot race with Zaha, got his body in the right position and won the ball back.

83. Benteke drives at Leeds... he’s past one... past two but he fires a curling shot wide of the mark from outside the area under pressure.

81. Schlupp off, Hughes on.

80. Aghhhhhhh. Lordy. Almost a nightmare for Leeds. A ball into the box... it’s not dealt with. Meslier comes... it somehow hits Benteke and it’s edging towards the goal until Meslier races back to stop it on the last... just. It was centimetres.
