- RESULT: Leeds United 1-0 Crystal Palace
LEEDS CHANCE
79. A succession of corners... Rodrigo at the near post. He guides his header and it hits Tomkins... but it’s into the sidenetting.
LEEDS CHANCE
78. Roberts is taken out by Schlupp on the near side. Quick free-kick... Firpo squares and Benteke puts it behind for a corner ball.
Leeds defend well
77. Game on a knife edge. Llorente has to deal with a long ball forward... he heads it backwards and it looks for half a second like Zaha might break in but Dallas intercepts brilliantly.
PALACE CHANCE
74. Wow... a huge moment. Palace miss a sitter. The visitors break, Gallagher is into the box. Shot blocked. Zaha then lifts a ball to the back post where they’re queuing up... it’s Benteke. His header flies wide of the post. A bad, bad miss.
Leeds hold firm
73. Gallagher’s free-kick is scrambled away at the second effort before Palace overhit a ball out of play. Leeds need to muster something here for a big finish...
Palace free-kick
72. Dallas booked. Zaha turns inside and out on the far side, he gets brought down just before the box. Good free-kick chance this...
Leeds on top
70. It’s still Leeds who are seeing the majority of the ball. Firpo just played a dangerous ball to the back post but Palace cleared it away. Still yet to create that one big chance despite all the pressure.
Dallas wins a goal-kick
66. Stuart Dallas just made a tackle with his head, on the ground. And won it. Zaha furious on the far side, as his touch takes it out of play after Dallas’ heroics. The Leeds man needs some treatment but looks fine to carry on.
